About Apollon Limassol FC

Apollon Limassol FC is a Cypriot professional football club based in the city of Limassol. It was founded on 14 April 1954 by a group of young Cypriots with the aim of creating an athletic and cultural association. Since its establishment, Apollon has become one of the major clubs in Cypriot football, regularly competing in the top division and building a strong identity rooted in the city of Limassol. The club’s colours are blue and white, and it plays its home matches at the modern Alphamega Stadium.

Domestically, Apollon is considered one of the traditional “big teams” in Cyprus, having won multiple league titles, Cypriot Cups, and Super Cups. Its most successful periods came across different decades, especially in the 1990s and 2000s, when the club consistently challenged for honours. Apollon also has a strong rivalry with fellow Limassol clubs AEL and Aris, with derby matches being among the most intense fixtures in Cypriot football.

On the European stage, Apollon has been a regular participant in UEFA competitions, including the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League. While the club has not yet achieved a major European breakthrough, it has had several notable campaigns and group-stage appearances, helping raise its international profile. Apollon continues to be an important representative of Cypriot football in Europe and remains one of the most competitive clubs in the country.
