Cyprus

Cyprus. Same as ever, in a way. Second Division was more interesting:

Ermis (Aradippou) and

Ethnikos (Achna) topped the league and were promoted – both teams never played First Division before, thus, the 1982-83 was the best season in the histories of the winners. They were going to replace APOP (Paphos) – 14th in 1st Division and Olympiakos (Nicosia), 13th. Olympiakos lost the battle for survival on worse goal-difference – Nea Salamina (Famagusta) survived.

A weak season for Apollon (Limassol) – they finished 11th.

A weak season for APOEL too – they were 3rd and did not get even a UEFA Cup spot – it went to Anorthosis (Famagusta), 2nd in the final table. But that was just about all Anorthosis was capable of – with 25 points, they were hardly a title contender, finishing 3 points behind the champions.

As for the champions, there is hardly a need even to mention them. They also reached the Cup final and although Enosi Neon (Paralimni) fought bravely the champions prevailed 2-1.

One more title, one more Cup, one more double… Omonia (Nicosia) dominated Cypriot football since the beginning of 1970s and there was no end to their success. No point even to count their trophies.
