APOLLON
APOLLON Limassol FC was founded in Limassol on April 14th, 1954. The Club was accepted into the second division on October 16th, 1955 after its membership application had been approved by the Cyprus Football Assocation (C.F.A).

In its first year APOLLON suffered 8 defeats in 8 matches the second division. Just before the next season (1956-57) a crisis erupted in AEL, a first division team based in Limassol, and as a result, most of the players left AEL and joined APOLLON. After this, Apollon won the regional group in the second division and subsequently the play-offs to then be promoted to the first division. This took place in 1957 and ever since APOLLON has been competing in the first division.

Things were not easy however for the newly promoted club. APOLLON couldn’t reach a satisfactory position in the rankings and was struggling in the middle of the table for many years. But in the mid-60's things changed.

In the last 15 years APOLLON won the league title three times (1991, 1994, 2006), and was the runner-up four times (1984, 1989, 1993, 1996). Since then APOLLON won the Cup another 5 times (1966, 1967, 1986, 1992, 2001), and was the Cup finalist four times (1987, 1993, 1995, 1998).

Last season, 2005-06 APOLLON won the league title undefeated and earned a club record of 64 points. APOLLON had 19 wins and 7 draws in 26 matches and this went down in Cypriot Football history due to fact that it was the fourth team in the Cyprus Championship that won the title unbeaten.
