Following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, Nea Salamis was forced to leave its original home in Famagusta and has since operated in exile, mainly based in Larnaca. Despite this displacement, the club has maintained a strong supporter base and identity tied to its hometown. It continues to compete in Cyprus’s top divisions and has also taken part in European competitions, preserving its status as one of the historically significant clubs in Cypriot football.
