OFI Crete is shifting its focus from winning the Super Cup to its European challenge against CSKA Sofia, aiming to qualify for the Europa League's League Phase.

Coach Christos Kontis has revealed the team's European roster, which notably includes Borja González. González has recovered from his injury and rejoined team training, boosting the squad's options.

However, the team will be without Nikos Marinakis, who is sidelined with a pubic bone issue, and the young player Konteskas. Konteskas is ineligible as he has not yet met the two-year requirement for List B.
