Cyprus calling for striker Rauffmann

Cyprus are set to deploy German striker Rainer Rauffmann against Northern Ireland later this month.

Marriage of convenience 
Rauffmann, top scorer in Division A for four of the past five seasons, is likely to join Michael Konstantinou of Panathinaikos FC and FC PAOK Thessaloniki's Ioannis Okkas in the national-team attack for the EURO 2004™ qualifying campaign, which opens next month. He qualified for Cypriot citizenship through marriage.

For the record 
Rauffmann has registered 182 goals in 157 league and 25 cup games for Omonia. Though 34, he remains one of the first division's most potent forwards.
