We are in Limassol just now. We leave tomorrow for Larnaca though.
We ain't spotted any TA. Restaurants are absolutely amazing though. Try these 2:
Cleoparra Restaurant- Go for the Meze- Best meal I've ever eaten!
Meze Taverna - Also gr8, you need to book this in advance, but Cleopatras is best meal. It's that good!

I was told a screenshot of your CSO would be fine.

Problem Solved here and 3 Tickets bought!
If anybody uses their Driving License as ID. They use the Number from the back of it. Also, they may miss out one of the numbers which is what happened to me. So if your 1st attempt does not work. Try missing out places where they could make an error, like '11' for instance. They missed out One of the 1's in my application.
It just so happens that was the ID I tried 1st and when it did not work I dis-counted it for the rest.
By pure chance, I went back and tried using a different License and it worked which is when I discovered the error. All useless information! (-:
But for Driving Licenses, It's the number on the back!

CSO Card No - use card number as provided by CFA from your successful application
Identity Card No - use your passport number, that you used during your application
This works for me.
I can't get an App to work on my phone (Apple or Andriod) so have just taken a screenshot of the card, should suffice.
TY for Reply, I used my Driving License and it's no working!
So for anybody still to apply, do not use your driving license as ID.

I used exactly the same process and it works fine on the web page. I haven't tried an app.
N1 for Reply, I used Driving License as ID and it ain't playing ball! Although I was approved.

I lived in Larnaca for 2 years, before moving 7 minutes drive away to a village just outside.
5 years total I've been drinking aroond the toon.
There is a wee cluster of rock bars 7 or 8 seconds walk away from Finikoudes (beach front) and just around corner from Meeting Pub (obvious got to for travelling fans)
Savino is excellent. Good selection of beers. Open til 0330.
Stone Age is a 2 second walk from Savino. Open til 0300.
Dylans is a 4 second walk from Stone age. Open til 0300.
Avalon live is next door. Open til 0300.
Hot Shots is at the end of the lane where the rock bars are. More trad pub, decent. Open til 0330.
Burracho is just around corner from there. Some gas cookers. Open 0300.
The Meeting Pub itself is open til 0200. As is Old Market Street just to south of rock bars.
All Sports Bar just along the front from Meeting Pub and up a wee lane is open til 0300.
There are a few places round Ermou Square open til 2am. Full of posers like, but decent for divot watch.
Moving a wee bit further away to Stasinou (5 min walk), there is a place there Art Cafe. Despite name it has a monumental selection of super beers if you are into that. Just along from there on same road is Harrys. Ok pub, open til 0200 or 0300.
Open til 0400 is Corona Karaoke club. Ate end of Stasinou. Always felt a bit dodgy when I've been in there. Russian
The Blue Pine is a very good pub for football and rock bands. Open til 2am, but a wee bit of a walk from front, maybe 12 mins.
Makenzy beach has a lively day and night vibe. I prefer during day, but there are places there open til 0200 and 0300 right along that strip, ammos, Lush, Rebuke and others. you can walk that 25 mins from the Fort down the front.
There are also some very interesting venues along Archiposkopou Makariou.
Beside harbour Dancing places. Area is called the Magic Roundabout. All the "pubs" look onto the roundabout.
Bizarrely, this is all shut down by 0100, which seems a touch strange.
In my village, Oroklini, there are some places open down beach front til 0300. Quuens and Whispers 😉 , next to my local which used to be 1.75 Euro a pint, but now has raised to 2.00!!! 😵
Couple of places up the village open til 0200 as well.
I have a small gathering coming over biding in a village roond corner fae my hoose. Canna wait like. 🍺
Tremendous Info! Taking my 18 Year Old Boy to his 1st Away Trip. He plays Guitar and Loves Indie/Rock. This place looks like it was built for him. Hopefully we get a chance to take in some LIVE Music!

Craig, if you enter the address and postcode of your Cypriot accommodation/hotel then it will accept it. I will contact the head of ticketing again next month and get an idiots guide for us to make sure everyone can register before the match.
I also did it as a non-Cypriot ID holder to see if it worked (I have Cypriot ID)
Address - use Cypriot accommodation address
ID number - entered passport number
iD front pic - passport picture
ID rear pic - used driving licence
it will then give you a reference number you use to log back in to webpage and download your fan card to your phone.
Like I said, wait now until 1st August as current cards expire 31st July.
Without a fan card to match name printed on ticket you will not get entry as Cyprus has a big problem still with fan violence but if we find a problem with acquiring it I will ask the CFA for another solution.
Hey Davie
N1 Again, but, I am still struggling. I got as far as "it will then give you a reference number you use to log back in to webpage and download your fan card to your phone."
But, even when in https://tickets.cfa.com.cy/en/home/
Having used the Reference Number it gave me. There is no option to download my Fan Card.
And even on this Page:
https://theasis.cy.net/koa/en/online/
I cannot log in because they have never given me my CSO Car No or allowed me to download it.
Very frustrating, but I must be doing something wrong. So any advice from people who have managed to get it on there phone would be appreciated!
This aside, I can't wait. Cyprus look amazing!
-
Struggling here.
1st: I applied successfully on this link: https://theasis.cy.net/koa/en/home/
And got an e-mail from them saying: "Your application has been completed. Your registration number is:
132013. (Made Up Number)
Please save the fan card number. It is necessary for your login to the iOS & Android applications or/and website."2nd: I mailed my accommodation and asked them to watch out for any physical card arriving.
But, when I tried to log on to the "Card Online" https://theasis.cy.net/koa/en/online/
I can't get in. I get a "Login Failed" Message.
Anybody else having any joy?
-
Yeah, I just noticed that they do an App!
You get it at the bottom of the page you applied for the Fan Card. Apologies for confusion!

Just completed successfully the Cypriot Fan Card application process and I can now apply for a home end ticket, when they become available.
Where do I find my Cypriot Fan Card either online or physically? I believe I need one to match my ID with a match ticket ... right now I have nothing.
I put my Address as our Air B&B. Then messaged the Air B&B asking to keep any Physical Fan Cards that turned up for me.
Cypriot FA are really cool, The Fan Card being provided free of charge to Fans who they know will only use it once.
N1 Cyprus!

Harvesting will be HUGE.
SFA need to stamp it out. Easy to do, if someone buys a harvested ticket and reports it. The Harvester drops back to ZERO Points. As long as it is with proof, Pic of the Ticket, Pic of the Buyer in the Stadium holding the Ticket and Proof of Travel.
When someone harvests, it's potentially 1 less supporter in the Scotland End. Plus, Harvesters get Big Game Tickets (such as Germany when they don't deserve them).
Guaranteed, we will be in Cyprus with harvested tickets widely available, while the 3 of us going will be in the HOME End. If the rule above was put in place, re-sale value would be £ZERO therefor ALOT less Harvesting.

Hey Davie

or my grandson (19) who's on 7 pts
It is showing as Sold Out, 2x8 Pointers here, me and my son. Set to lose out for Cyprus tickets and as a result probably Tickets for Germany.

Ireland appear to be trying to get automatic Qualification for the Tournament as co-hosts.
That put Scotland, Wales and NI at a total dis-advantage. That would absolutely suck as we would also be a co-host, all be it as a subsidiary of the United Kingdom.........:

We can't qualify until full time of the England game.
We need to beat Cyprus and hope Spain beat Georgia the same night.
Then whilst we're playing England we need Norway to draw with Georgia.Some Night Indeed!

I just noticed, 2 Points for an Away game! So doubly crucial We get lucky here.
Boys 1st Away Game too, a present for doing well in his School Exams!
Trip to Germany is for his 18th, so amazing if we got Tickets! He is living the dream, going to (hopefully) see Scotland play in a Major Finals before his 18th Birthday!
-
2x8 Pointer's here so we are Preying we get 2xAway Tickets!
Already booked for Germany so that extra point could make all the difference!
-
Yeah, I think the way to do this is get yourself to Germany for a Date Range that at least covers all Match Days in 1 Set of Games, i.e The 1st, 2nd or 3rd Games in the Group Stage.
You could do that on a 4/5 day trip if you arrive very early on the 1st Day and Leave very late on the last day.
It is possible to cover 2 entire Match Days in the Group stage with an 8 Day Trip.
Weds 19th June, arriving very early and leaving Thursday 27th June very late allows you to hit ALL 2nd and 3rd Games in every Group. That's what I'm booked up for! I prey to God we make it (-:

Our current ranking is 16th in Europe.
A run of amazing results would see us in top 12.
A collapse of Scotland proportions (which doesn't look likely) would see us in the 3rd Pot.
-
I got this off Wiki:
- Group stage: Twelve groups of four or five teams. Group winners will qualify for the World Cup finals.
- Play-off stage: 16 teams (twelve group runners-up and four best Nations League group winners, based on the Nations League overall ranking, that finished outside the top two of their qualifying group) will be drawn into four play-off paths, playing two rounds of single-match playoffs (semi-finals with the seeded teams to host, followed by finals, with the home teams to be drawn). The four path winners will qualify for the World Cup finals.

Going to be tough for us to make it through if thats the route. Unlikely we win a group unless we get lucky with the draw and having to play 2 play off matches would be tough assuming we can finish 2nd. Usually some of the big nations have a poor campaign and end up in the play offs.
Just have to make sure we are a pot 2 team and get a bit of luck along the way.
Sounds like a plan! 😀

World cup '26 path made clearer today.
12 qualifying groups.Top qualifies.
Runner up in playoffs
4 best nl group winners in playoffs.
16 in playoffs, 4 paths of semis, 4 qualify through playoffs.This was on 29th June
That makes sense! Where did you find the info?

I would expect 12 group winners from the 12 qualification groups, with the top two 2nd placed teams with two further spots up for some kind of play off system making up the 16 teams.
In this scenario, our best hope is getting a favorable qualification draw.
Right now, we are 17th in the UEFA region in FIFA rankings or 20th in the Nations league so we would be a pot 2 team. Depending how the qualification groups were drawn up, Nations League IMO we could hope to get a Hungary, Poland or even Germany or if it were done by FIFA rankings - Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden or Germany as our pot 1 team.
Nah, my prediction would be:
12 Group Winners Qualify.
ALL 2nd Placed Teams go into Play-Offs:
Rd1: 8 Worst 2nd Placed Teams play a KO, 4 Progress.
Rd2: 8 Remaining Teams Play a KO, 4 Qualify.
16 Spots Filled.

More Information here, although it still is not clear. 12 Groups of 4/5 Teams and only the Winners Qualify. That would leave 4 Spots for Play-Offs/Best Runners Up:
Seedings for Euro Finals

Posted
A Great STATS Thread this! To clarify the Tie Breakers for the SEEDING POTS for the Finals:
Note:
- Germany are Automatically a POT 1 Team, So there are 5 More Top Seeds (6 Groups)
- Winners from PLAY-OFFS are automatically POT 4 TEAMS
Current Standings (MINUS the results against the bottom placed team for Groups of 6):

Prediction:
As a MINIMUM, Scotland will QUALIFY as a POT 2 Team.....WOW, just WOW.
Chances of being a POT 1 Team, I'd estimate 50/50......TRIPLE WOW!
