AEK Larnaca is coming off a successful season, finishing fourth in the Cypriot championship and winning the national cup after defeating defending champions Pafos in the final. This victory earned them a spot in the Europa League.

They started the new season by adding another trophy: in the Polish Super Cup, they beat Lech Poznań 2-1.
