'''APOEL F.C.''' ({{lang-el|ΑΠΟΕΛ ποδόσφαιρo}}) is a professional [[Association football|football]] [[Sports club|club]] based in [[Nicosia]], [[Cyprus]] and they are one of the founding members of the [[Cyprus Football Association]].<ref name="apoelfc_history1">{{cite web |url=http://www.apoelfc.com.cy/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=1456&tt=graphic&lang=l1|publisher=APOEL FC| |language=Greek|title=Ιστορική Αναδρομή|accessdate=2008-05-30}}</ref> APOEL is the second most popular football team in the country (behind [[AC Omonia|Omonia]]) and they are the most successful with an overall tally of 19 [[Cypriot First Division|championships]], 19 [[Cypriot Cup|cups]] and 9 [[Cyprus FA Shield|super cups]]. APOEL's European competitions highlights include appearances on the third qualifying round of the [[UEFA Champions League]] and the second round of the [[UEFA Cup]] (2002-2003). APOEL F.C. is part of the APOEL [[multisport club]].
APOEL ({{lang-el|ΑΠΟΕΛ; ''Aθλητικός Ποδοσφαιρικός Όμιλος Eλλήνων Λευκωσίας''}}, ''Athlitikos Podosfairikos Omilos Ellinon Lefkosias'', Athletic Football Club of Greeks of Nicosia) is a [[Cyprus|Cypriot]] [[multisport club]] based in [[Nicosia]], [[Cyprus]]. APOEL was founded in [[1926]] and it maintains departments for several sports including football, [[APOEL B.C.|basketball]], [[volleyball]] and cycling.
==History==
The club was formed as POEL ({{lang-el|ΠΟΕΛ; Ποδοσφαιρικός Ομιλός Ελλήνων Λευκωσίας}}, ''Podosferikos Omilos Ellinon Lefkosias'', Football Club of Greeks of Nicosia) on [[November 8]], [[1926 in football (soccer)|1926]]. The club's formation came about when a group of forty people, with a common vision, met and set the foundations for creating a football club that would represent all Greeks of the [[Nicosia|capital]]. The meeting took place at a traditional confectionery, owned by Charalambos Hadjioannou, down town in [[Ledra Street]] and the first president of the club was Giorgos Poulias<ref name="apoelfc_history"> {{cite web|url=http://www.apoelfc.com.cy/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=1372&tt=graphic〈=l1 |title=History of APOEL |accessdate=2008-04-13 |publisher=APOEL FC|language=Greek }}</ref>. The first clubhouse was the "Athenians Club" ({{lang-el|Λέσχη Αθηναίων}}) at the end of [[Ledra Street]].<ref name="apoelfc_history" />
After a journey to the [[Association football|football]] club in [[Alexandria]], [[Egypt]] in [[1927 in football (soccer)|1927]] the General Assembly of [[1928]] decided the players showed that they were not just good footballers but also excellent [[track and field]] athletes. Hence it was decided to create a track and field team in addition to the football team. The name APOEL was adopted to reflect this, with the 'A' standing for 'Athletic'. Soon after a volleyball team and a table tennis team were established.
Cyprus did not have any country-wide league until 1932. Football clubs of the time played friendly matches only. In [[1932]], [[Pezoporikos Larnaca]] organised an unofficial league, the first island-wide league, and it was won by APOEL after defeating [[AEL Limassol]] on the final with 4-0. In [[1934]], there was a disagreement between [[Trast AC]] and [[Anorthosis Famagusta FC|Anorthosis Famagusta]] on the organisation of the fourth unofficial league. APOEL and [[AEL Limassol]] organised a meeting for the foundation of a country-wide governing body and an official country-wide league. The meeting took place in APOEL's clubhouse on September 23 and the establishment of the [[Cyprus Football Association]] was agreed. Two years later the APOEL football team celebrated its first championship title of the official [[Cyprus football league system|Cyprus football league]]. APOEL also won the championship for the following four years, making this a very successful period for the club with 5 consecutive championships (1936-1940).<ref name="apoelfc_history1" />
Politics, however, would soon spark conflict within the team. On [[May 23]], [[1948]] the board of the club send a telegram to the [[Hellenic Association of Amateur Athletics]] ({{lang-el|Σ.Ε.Γ.Α.Σ.}}), with the opportunity of the annual Panhellenic Track and Field Competition, which included wishes that "the rebellion" is finished. Several leftist club members perceived the telegram as a political comment on the [[Greek Civil War]] and they distanced themselves from the club.<ref name="sansimera_apoel">{{cite web|url=http://www.sansimera.gr/archive/articles/show.php?id=336&feature=APOEL|publisher=sansimera.gr|language=Greek|title=Η ιστορία του ΑΠΟΕΛ|accessdate=2008-05-28}}</ref> A few days later, on [[June 4]] [[1948]], they founded [[AC Omonia|Omonia Nicosia Football Club]]. [[AC Omonia|Omonia]] is to this date the arch rival of APOEL and there has been a traditional animosity between the fans of the two teams.
More conflicts led to further struggles for APOEL. Athletes belonging to the club frequently participated in national clashes. During the [[1955]]-59 national up-rise against the [[United Kingdom|British]], many of APOEL's athletes and members of the club were active members of [[EOKA]] (the National Organisation of Cypriot Fighters), the most outstanding example being the club's track and field athlete [[Michalis Karaolis|Michalakis Karaolis]] who was hanged by the British colonial authorities. During this period the football team had their closest brush with relegation as most football players were actively taking part in the national struggle.
The football team were quickly back to full strength and made their debut appearance in European Competitions (the first not only for APOEL but for any Cypriot team) in [[1963]], when they faced the [[Norway|Norwegian]] team [[SK Gjøvik-Lyn]] in the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup 1963-64|UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]]. Two victories for APOEL over both legs (6-0, 1-0) marked APOEL's successful European debut, as they became the first [[Hellenic]] team to progress in a European Competition. The next round against the tournament winners [[Sporting Clube de Portugal]] met APOEL with their heaviest defeat ever (16-1) and put an end to APOEL's European debut.<ref name="sansimera_apoel" />
Other triumphs followed in the early 1970s. In 1973 the domestic double was achieved with coach Panos Markovic. The following year APOEL became the only Cypriot team to avoid relegation from the [[Super League Greece|pan-Hellenic Greek Championship]]. That was also the last season that the Cypriot champion played in the Greek Football League the following year due to the volatile situation in Cyprus during 1974.<ref name="sansimera_apoel" /> [[1973]] also saw triumphs for the [[basketball]] side of APOEL, who gained their first trophy by winning the national cup. Three years later in [[1976]] they succeeded in winning the first basketball championship. The [[volleyball]] side of the club experienced their most successful period between [[1979]] and [[1985]] when they won six championships and five cups.
The 1980s were a relatively fruitless period for APOEL. They have only won 2 championships (1980,1986), 1 cup (1984) and 2 FA shields (1984, 1986). In 1986 APOEL was drawn against [[Beşiktaş J.K.]] for the second round of the [[European Cup 1986-87|European Cup]]. This was the first time that a Cypriot team faced a Turkish team in a European football competition. The Cypriot government prohibited APOEL from playing against the Turkish team, so APOEL was punished with 2 years disqualification from any [[UEFA]] competition.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.apoelfc.com.cy/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=1486 |publisher=APOEL FC|language=Greek|title= Περίοδος 1980 - 1990 |accessdate=2008-05-30}}</ref> This penalty was later reduced to 1 year.
The 90s were a successful decade for APOEL with 3 championships (1990, 1992, 1996), 5 cups (1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999) and 4 FA shields (1992, 1993, 1996, 1999). The most successful season in the 90s was [[1995]]-[[1996|96]] in which APOEL achieved a celebratory double while remaining undefeated in the league. The basketball team won a double on the same season, making this the ideal season for a 70th anniversary celebration.
On [[1996]] the APOEL Football Ltd. was formed.<ref name="apoelfc_history_90">{{cite web| url=http://www.apoelfc.com.cy/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=1487|publisher=APOEL FC|language=Greek|title=Περίοδος 1990 - σήμερα|accessdate=2008-05-30}}</ref> This had a significant effect on the club because it separated the activities of the football team from those of the sports club. The formation of the company was necessitated by the financial difficulties the team faced at the time.<ref name="apoelfc_history_90" /> The company began it operations with a capital of CY£600,000.<ref name="apoelfc_history_90" />
In [[2002]], the football team embarked on an impressive European run, playing ten games before being knocked out, an impressive feat for a Cypriot club. The team participated in the [[UEFA Champions League 2002-03|Champions League]] and was knocked out by [[AEK Athens F.C.|AEK Athens]] on the third qualifying round. They entered the [[UEFA Cup 2002-03|UEFA Cup]] on the first round and advanced until the second round when they were knocked out by [[Hertha BSC Berlin]].
The APOEL FC Academy has produced many quality Cypriot players. Some of them still remain in the team whilst more and more come through every season. Many of these players have also competed at international level with the [[Cyprus national football team| Cyprus National Football Team]], and gone on to bigger clubs such as [[Olympiacos]] and [[Panathinaikos FC]].
APOEL
== Stadium ==
[[Image:GSP Stadium.gif|thumb|right|[[GSP Stadium]] in [[Nicosia]]]]
{{main|GSP Stadium|Eleftheria Indoor Hall}}
APOEL plays in the 22,859 seater [[GSP Stadium|New GSP Stadium]] (also known as the Pancypria Stadium), the biggest stadium in Cyprus, since [[October 23]] [[1999]]. They share it with local rivals [[AC Omonia|Omonia]] and [[Olympiakos Nicosia]].
APOEL played in the [[Makario Stadium]] from 1978 until 1999 and in the [[GSP Stadium|Old GSP Stadium]] before that.
The club's basketball team hosts its matches at the biggest indoor sport venue in the island, the [[Eleftheria Indoor Hall]] with a capacity of 6,800 seats while the volleyball team shares the Lefkotheo Indoor Hall which was built in 1980 with [[AC Omonia|Omonia]]. For the 2006-07 season, the futsal team uses the Indoor Hall of [[Melkonian institute]] which is a part of the institute complex and has capacity of 500 seats.
==Supporters==
APOEL is one of the most popular teams in Cyprus. APOEL fans are right-wing in their majority but there are no strong ties between the organised fans and any political party. That wasn't always the case but during the past years they have actively avoided association with any political party. During political elections the organised fans post "My [Political] Party is APOEL" (in Greek)
on banners outside the fan club, stickers etc.
Main supporter groups include PAN.SY.FI ({{lang-el|ΠΑΝ.ΣΥ.ΦΙ}}) and Pirates. PAN.SY.FI was founded in 1979 <ref name="apoelfc_pansyfi">{{cite web|url=http://www.apoelfc.com.cy/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=1438&tt=graphic&lang=l1|publisher=APOEL FC|title=ΠΑΝ.ΣΥ.ΦΙ|language=Greek|accessdate=2008-05-23}}</ref> and has branches in all major cities in [[Cyprus]] and also in other countries. The PAN.SY.FI (and most ultras) wear orange jackets (or T-shirts). The first game they sported the orange jackets was during the first round game of the 1992-93 championship against [[AEL Limassol]] in [[Makario Stadium]]. <ref name="apoelfc_pansyfi" />
The club record for ticket sales in a single season is 116,015 (13 matches, home league games only) during the [[Cypriot First Division 2006-07|2006-07 season]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gsp.org.cy/Ticket%20Menu%20Statistics%20en.html|publisher=gsp.org.cy|title=Ticket Sales Statistics at GSP Stadium|accessdate=2008-05-23}}</ref> The average league game attendance (home and away) for the last 5 seasons is 8,218.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.typosonline.com/?c=131&a=11460|publisher=typosonline.com|language=Greek|title=ΑΠΟΕΛ: Πρωταθλητής ο κόσμος του|date=2008-05-23|accessdate=2008-05-30}}</ref> The number of season tickets for the 2007-08 season was 5,442.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://24sports.com.cy/easyconsole.cfm/id/1789|publisher=24sports.com.cy|language=Greek|title=Για ένα νέο ρεκόρ εισιτηρίων|date=2008-06-06|accessdate=2008-06-06}}</ref>
