Team history
The national team have yet to reach a senior EURO or World Cup finals, but results against established opponents have provided important landmarks in a much longer qualifying history.
A 4–4 draw with Portugal in September 2010 is among the most memorable. A 2–1 win away to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the EURO 2016 qualifiers offered another example. Sotiris Kaiafas, Ioannis Okkas and Michalis Konstantinou represent different generations of Cypriot attacking players.
