EPA Larnaca FC
Cyprus · Founded: 1930
EPA Larnaca FC was a Cypriot football club based in the city of Larnaca. It was founded in 1930 through the merger of two local clubs, Pezoporikos and AMOL, and became one of the founding members of the Cyprus Football Association. The club played an important role in the early development of Cypriot football and participated in the first official Cypriot championship in 1934–35. EPA was also a multi-sport organization with departments in basketball and volleyball.
The club experienced its most successful period in the mid-1940s, when it achieved back-to-back domestic doubles, winning both the Cypriot First Division and the Cypriot Cup in 1944–45 and 1945–46. Over the following decades, EPA remained one of the stronger teams in Cyprus, winning multiple league titles and cup trophies and regularly competing at the top level of Cypriot football. It also represented Cyprus in Greek and European competitions during its strongest era.
In 1994, EPA Larnaca merged with another historic Larnaca club, Pezoporikos, to form AEK Larnaca FC. This merger was intended to unify football in the city and create a stronger modern club capable of competing at a higher level. Although EPA ceased to exist as an independent team, its legacy remains significant, as it contributed heavily to early Cypriot football success and is remembered as one of the traditional powerhouses of Larnaca football history.
