APOEL celebrates 100th anniversary with stadium festivities

APOEL Nicosia celebrated its centenary on November 8, 2026, with a series of commemorative events centered at the GSP Stadium. Following a 3-1 victory against Aris in the ninth round of the Cyprus League, the club hosted a major ceremony attended by thousands of fans to honor its 100-year history. The event featured a torchlight relay through Nicosia, a drone light show, and the recognition of legendary figures, including former players and iconic coach Ivan Jovanovic, who received a standing ovation from the crowd.

Jovanovic, visibly moved by the reception, addressed the supporters, thanking the club’s past administrations and fans for their enduring support. Other honored figures included Andreas Stylianou, Nuno Morais, Ian Moores, Marinos Satsias, and Giannos Ioannou. The club's management officially thanked the fans for their participation, noting that the celebrations were a testament to the club's enduring legacy. Meanwhile, reports suggest that a potential administrative transition is on the horizon, with an investment group led by Savvas Liashis reportedly preparing to assume control of the club following upcoming general assemblies.
