The 2013–14 season is Omonia's 59th season in the Cypriot First Division and 65th year in existence as a football club.
Season overview
Pre-season On 20 June 2013, over 2,500 fans attended to the first official training session for the season at Ilias Poullos Training Center. The pre-season tour was held once again in Opalenica, Poland and the team played four friendlies against Lech Poznań, Wisła Kraków, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Widzew Łódź. When returning to Cyprus and one week before the start of Europa League, Omonia played a friendly against the Greek side Skoda Xanthi in GSP Stadium and won 3–1.

The team were drawn against the Romanian side FC Astra Giurgiu and managed to get 1–1 away in Arena Națională after an equalizer from João Paulo Andrade in the second half.
