APOEL celebrates 100-year anniversary with Sotiriou return

APOEL Football Club is celebrating its centenary, marking 100 years of history. Former club president Christoforos Potamitis issued a commemorative statement highlighting his deep emotional connection to the club and its values. Meanwhile, current team captain Pieros Sotiriou shared a poignant message reflecting on his career, which began in 2013 and included a return to the team in 2025, urging fans to support the club during its difficult periods.

In conjunction with the anniversary celebrations, APOEL announced its squad for the ninth round match of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan against Aris Limassol at the GSP Stadium. A major development is the return of captain Pieros Sotiriou to the matchday squad for the first time in nearly a year. Sources note his recovery followed a severe knee injury involving a torn cruciate ligament and meniscus, sustained during a previous season. While some sources identify the injury as occurring during an October match against AEL, others specify it happened during a training session in January; regardless, his return marks a significant boost for the team as they face Aris during the historic milestone weekend.
