The 2009â10 season was APOEL's 70th season in the Cypriot First Division and 82nd year in existence as a football club.
The first training session for the season took place on June 10, 2009, at the GSP Stadium and on June 21, the team left to Obertraun in Austria, to perform the main stage of their pre-season training. On July 3, the team moved to Leogang to continue their pre-season preparation. APOEL returned to Cyprus on July 9. During the pre-season training stage in Austria, APOEL played three friendly matches.
APOEL started the season by winning the 2009 Cypriot Super Cup, beating APOP Kinyras 2â1 on 9 August 2009. SebastiĂĄn GonzĂĄlez opened the score for APOP Kinyras in the 4th minute and APOEL equalised with Boban GrnÄarov in the 49th minute. The winner came from Nektarios Alexandrou in the 85th minute.
APOEL finished 2nd in the 2009â10 Cypriot First Division with 65 points, behind champions Omonia which had 74 points. So, APOEL won a place for the 2010â11 UEFA Europa League second qualifying round.
APOEL reached the final of the 2009â10 Cypriot Cup by eliminating Ethnikos Achna (4â2 agg.), Ermis Aradippou (6â0 agg.) and Aris Limassol (2â0 agg.). In the Cup final which held at GSZ Stadium on 15 May 2010, APOEL lost from Apollon Limassol by 2â1. Apollon took the lead in the 1st minute with a goal from Moustapha Bangura and APOEL equalised in the 23rd minute with a header from Marcin Ć»ewĆakow. Apollon scored the winner with Giorgos Merkis in the 72nd minute with a header from close range.
The team was the current holders of the Cypriot championship and as such entered the UEFA Champions League qualifying stages. A successful campaign saw them through to the 2009â10 UEFA Champions League group stages by eliminating EB/Streymur (5â0 agg.), FK Partizan (2â1 agg.) and F.C. Copenhagen (3â2 agg.). APOEL were drawn in Group D against Chelsea F.C., F.C. Porto and AtlĂ©tico Madrid.
On matchday 1, APOEL drew 0â0 against AtlĂ©tico Madrid at the first game at Vicente CalderĂłn Stadium and won its first ever point in group stages. On matchday 2, APOEL faced up English giants Chelsea F.C. and the Cypriot team was beaten 0â1 by Nicolas Anelka's goal in the 18th minute. On matchday 3, APOEL played against F.C. Porto at DragĂŁo. APOEL took the lead on 22â from Ălvaro Pereira's own goal but Hulk scored two goals on 33â and 48â with a penalty and finally lost 2â1. Then followed another match against F.C. Porto in Nicosia for matchday 4. APOEL stood well but lost 1â0 after Radamel Falcao's goal in the 84th minute. On matchday 5, APOEL drew 1â1 with AtlĂ©tico Madrid at GSP Stadium. APOEL took the lead in the game in the 5th minute after Nenad MirosavljeviÄ scored, but AtlĂ©tico Madrid equalised with the Portuguese international SimĂŁo Sabrosa on 62 minutes. For matchday 6, on December 8, 2009 APOEL travelled to London to play against Chelsea F.C. At Stamford Bridge the team had the support of 6,000 fans who traveled from Cyprus. APOEL took the lead on 6th minute with Marcin Ć»ewĆakow, but Chelsea scored two goals with Michael Essien on 19â and Didier Drogba on 26' to make it 2â1. APOEL equalised after Nenad MirosavljeviÄ scored in the 87th minute and the match ended 2â2.
APOEL finished fourth in the group having equal points with AtlĂ©tico Madrid, but failed to qualify to UEFA Europa League, because of the away goal that AtlĂ©tico Madrid had scored in Nicosia. At the end of the season AtlĂ©tico became the eventual winner of the 2009â10 UEFA Europa League.
