APOEL marks centennial with commemorative album presentation

On October 5, 2026, APOEL held an official event at the Strovolos Municipal Theatre to celebrate its centenary, marking 100 years since the club's founding in 1926. The gathering, which symbolically began at 19:26, served as the launch for a comprehensive 592-page commemorative album titled "APOEL 1926–2026, 100 Years Legend." The publication documents the club's history through rare archival materials, historical records, and extensive photography.

The event was attended by club leadership, including current president Costas Schizas and former president Kyriakos Zivanaris, as well as athletes and veterans. Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Athena Michaelidou, also attended and announced a government grant of 10,000 euros specifically to support the publication costs of the album.

Minister Michaelidou emphasized the social role of sports clubs in the 21st century and noted that the President of the Republic is expected to announce a more significant financial contribution during a future, primary event celebrating the club’s milestone. The presentation highlighted both the legacy of the past century and the club's preparations for future challenges, with the album now available to those invited to the commemorative presentation.
