Anorthosis
Anorthosis Famagusta FC is a Cypriot football club, which comes from Famagusta. It was founded in January 30, 1911. After the north of Cyprus was occupied by Turkey in 1974, Anorthosis became a refugee team and is temporarily based in Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium in Larnaca. Anorthosis Home Stadium in occupied Famagusta is G.S.E. (Gymnastic Club Evagoras) which is abandoned and in bad condition since 1974. Anorthosis won 12 championship titles, their last in season 2004-2005. They have won the Cyprus Cup 9 times including in 1949, 1959, 1962, 1964, 1971, 1975, 1998, 2002 and in 2003 and 5 times the super cup shield. The current president of the team is Andreas Panteli and the current coach is former Georgian International Timur Ketsbaia, who is also a player in the team.

On 26 July 2005 they achieved one of the greatest results in Cypriot football history when they beat the Turkish team Trabzonspor 3-1 in the first leg of their second round Champions League qualifying match. They lost the second leg 1-0 in Turkey, but progressed 3-2 on aggregate. In the third-round qualifying tie against the Scottish team Rangers, Anorthosis lost the first leg 2-1, and the second leg 2-0, so dropped into the first round of the UEFA Cup, where they were defeated 6-1 on aggregate by Italian team Palermo
