The game will be played at Akritas Chloraka’s home ground in Chloraka, near Paphos, Cyprus, a compact stadium typically accommodating a few thousand spectators with a close-to-the-pitch atmosphere. The venue’s smaller capacity and natural grass surface provide a recognizable home-field edge for Akritas in 1st Division fixtures.
