Anorthosis celebrates 40 years of Antonis Papadopoulos stadium

Anorthosis Famagusta is commemorating the 40th anniversary of its home ground, the Antonis Papadopoulos stadium in Larnaca, which officially opened on October 12, 1986. Serving as the club's home since they were displaced from Famagusta, the venue has hosted major domestic title celebrations and historic Champions League campaigns, establishing itself as a symbol of resilience for the organization.

To mark this milestone, the club invited fans to fill the stadium for the match against Pafos FC on October 11, 2026, a day before the official anniversary. Prior to the kickoff of this match, the club honored four significant personalities for their contributions to the team: Christakis Kittos, Akis Hatzikonstantis, Kostas Hatzikakou, and Kostas Fotis.

Regarded as a "fortress" in Cypriot football, the stadium continues to function as a key hub for the club. With the celebrations concluded, the stadium remains the focal point for the team’s ongoing operations and future sporting ambitions.
