Having never previously progressed beyond the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League Wisła Kraków hope to finally make their group-stage debut this season, but must first find a way past miserly APOEL FC. Previous meetings • The sides are meeting for the first time in UEFA competition in what is also APOEL's first game against a Polish team. • Wisła's only previous experience of Cypriot opposition came against AC Omonia in the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, when they won 5-2 at home and drew 2-2 away. • Maciej Żurawski, who scored twice in both legs, played for Omonia in 2009/10, helping them to the Cypriot title. Match background • Wisła, European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-finalists in 1978/79, have won all four of their games in Europe this season and have lost only once in their last nine continental home fixtures, 1-0 to Qarabağ FK in last term's third qualifying round first leg. • APOEL are unbeaten in their last five European games since a 1-0 loss at Getafe CF in the first leg of last season's UEFA Europa League play-offs. They have not conceded a goal in four outings this season. • That loss at Getafe is APOEL's only defeat in their last five European games on the road. • Polish champions Wisła have yet to feature in the UEFA Champions League group stage, though they did appear in the UEFA Cup group stage in 2006/07. • This is the seventh time Wisła have featured in UEFA Champions League qualifying. In each of their six previous campaigns they bowed out in the third qualifying round, when that was the final hurdle before the group stage, against some daunting opposition (FC in 2001/02 and 2008/09, Real Madrid CF in 2004/05). • This season's victories against Skonto FC (agg: 3-0) and PFC Litex Lovech (agg: 5-2) were the first time Wisła had won successive qualifying round games. • APOEL made their only group-stage appearance in 2009/10, the season after Anorthosis Famagusta FC became the first Cypriot side to reach that stage of the UEFA Champions League. • Under Ivan Jovanović, their coach since 2008, APOEL finished bottom of their section but twice held Club Atlético de Madrid and earned a 2-2 draw at Chelsea FC. They lost their other three games by one-goal margins. • Prior to 2009/10 APOEL had featured in three qualifying campaigns. They made it from the first to the third qualifying round in 2002/03, but lost 4-2 on aggregate to AEK Athens FC. AC Sparta Praha eliminated them in the second qualifying round (agg: 3-4) in 2004/05, and BATE were too strong (agg: 0-5) in the first qualifying round in 2007/08. • In 2009/10 they went from the second qualifying round to the group stage, beating EB/Streymur (agg: 5-0), FK Partizan (agg: 2-1) and, in the play-offs, FC København (agg: 3-2). • This season APOEL passed through the second and third qualifying rounds without conceding a goal, beating KS Skënderbeu (agg: 6-0) and ŠK Slovan (agg: 2-0). They are thus unbeaten in five UEFA Champions League qualifying ties. Team ties • Now at GKS Bełchatów, midfielder Kamil Kosowski played for Wisła from 1999-2003 and again in 2007, winning three Polish league titles. He then represented APOEL from 2008 to 2010 and was among the scorers as they beat FCK in the play-offs to reach the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League group stage. Fellow Poles Marcin Żewłakow and Adrian Sikora also featured in APOEL's maiden group campaign. • Another player to appear for both clubs was Bartłomiej Jamróz, who was at Wisla from 1992-94 and at APOEL in 2005/06. • Other Polish players to represent APOEL are Wojciech Kowalczyk – who was the first in 2003/04 – and Andrzej Kryszałowicz and Jarosław Popiela. • Former coach Jerzy Engel had spells in charge of both sides. He oversaw Wisła's 5-4 aggregate loss to Panathinaikos FC in the third qualifying round in 2005/06, then took charge of APOEL, leading them to the that same season. APOEL's only other Polish coach was Jacek Gmoch, who had a spell with the Cypriot club from 1991 to 1993.

The UEFA Champions League, UEFA's most prestigious club competition, underwent a series of significant changes in 2009/10 following a decision from the UEFA Executive Committee in November 2007. This format remains in place for 2011/12. The main points were: • No changes to the format of the main competition, which still involves 32 teams, split into eight groups of four in the group stage, followed by the knockout phase. The eight teams that finish the groups in third place cross over into the UEFA Europa League knockout phase. • The 2009/10 access list was changed according to the following principles: 22 teams (21 teams + the titleholder) qualify directly for the group stage instead of 16. The three national associations with the highest UEFA coefficient ranking each had three teams gain automatic entry to the group stage, with the countries ranked 4 to 6 in the standings having two automatic qualifiers and the associations ranked 7 to 13 having one. • Since 2009/10 there have been four qualifying rounds (including a play-off round), played in home-and-away ties, to complete the 32 participants in the UEFA Champions League group stage. There are two qualifying routes; the Champions Route and the League Route. • Champions Route: The first qualifying round comprises two two-legged ties involving the champions of the countries ranked 50 to 53 in UEFA competition. The winners of those ties progress to the second qualifying round where they are joined by the champions of the 32 countries ranked 17 to 49 (except Liechtenstein). The victorious sides from those 17 ties join the champions from the associations ranked 14 to 16 in the third qualifying round, with the winners of those ten pairings reaching the play-off round. These five play-off ties will take place on a home-and-away basis with the winners qualifying for the UEFA Champions League group stage. • League Route: The third-placed side from the sixth-ranked member association, plus the runners-up from the associations ranked 7 to 15, start the competition in the third qualifying round. The winners of these five ties progress to the play-off round, where they are joined by the fourth-placed sides from the associations ranked 1 to 3 and the third-placed teams from the associations ranked 4 and 5. The victorious teams from the five play-off ties qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage. • Teams from the Champions Route and the League Route cannot meet in UEFA Champions League qualifying. • The losing team from each of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round ties will go into the UEFA Europa League play-offs. • The losing team from each of the UEFA Champions League play-off ties will go into the UEFA Europa League group stage. • The team who finishes in third position in each of the UEFA Champions League groups goes into the UEFA Europa League Round of 32. The four best third-ranked teams will be seeded for the Round of 32 with the group winners of the UEFA Europa League group stage. • The matches in the UEFA Champions League first knockout round will be split over four weeks instead of two, using dates reserved for the UEFA club competition in February and March to maximise live match opportunities. • The final is to be played on a Saturday, with kick-off time at 20.45 CET. • The UEFA Champions League play-off rounds will be centrally marketed by UEFA in accordance with the concept already used for the group stage.
