'''Anorthosis Famagusta''' ({{langx|el|Ανόρθωση Αμμοχώστου|translit=Anorthosi Ammochostou}}), commonly known as '''Anorthosis''' in [[English language|English]] or''' Anorthosi''' in [[Greek language|Greek]], is a [[Cyprus|Cypriot]] [[association football|football]] club, part of the Famagusta multi-sport club founded in 1911 in [[Varosha, Famagusta|Varosha]], [[Famagusta]].<ref name="HistoryEvents">[http://www.anorthosis.com/historyevents Ιστορικά γεγονότα] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140722020902/http://www.anorthosis.com/historyevents|date=22 July 2014}}, Anorthosis Famagusta Official Website</ref>

Anorthosis was one of the founding clubs of the [[Cyprus Football Association]] in 1934.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Successes & Achievements |url=https://anorthosisfc.com.cy/anorthosis/epitychies-amp-kataktiseis/ |access-date=2022-03-01 |website=Ανόρθωσις Αμμοχώστου Ποδόσφαιρο |language=el |archive-date=1 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220301192318/https://anorthosisfc.com.cy/anorthosis/epitychies-amp-kataktiseis/ |url-status=live }}</ref> After the [[Turkish invasion of Cyprus]] in 1974, they were forced to relocate to [[Larnaca]] where they now play their home matches at the [[Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium]]. The club's original stadium, [[GSE Stadium|GSE]], has been abandoned since 1974 and is in poor condition.<ref name="HistoryEvents" />

One of the most successful clubs in Cypriot football, Anorthosis have won 13 [[Cypriot First Division|National Championships]], 11 [[Cypriot Cup|cups]] and 6 [[Cypriot Super Cup|Super Cups]]. Anorthosis is one of three Cypriot clubs never to have been relegated to the [[Cypriot Second Division|second division]], was the first Cypriot club to participate in the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] group stage, and the first Cypriot club to qualify for the [[UEFA Europa Conference League|Europa Conference League]] group stage.

==History==

[[File:Famagusta-Varosha 2007.JPG|thumb|250px|right|[[Varosha, Famagusta|Varosha]], the abandoned hometown of Anorthosis Famagusta]]{{See also|Anorthosis Famagusta F.C. in European football}}

===The early years===
Anorthosis Famagusta was founded on 30 January 1911. In the early years the club was not focused on sports but mainly national, spiritual, cultural and social activities. In 1928 it began to develop sporting activities.<ref name="MEL95">{{cite book |last=Meletiou |first=Giorgos |title= |publisher=Power Publishing |year=2011 |isbn=978-9963-688-87-6 |location=Nicosia |language=el |script-title=el:Κυπριακό ποδόσφαιρο 1900–1960 |trans-title=Cypriot Football 1900–1960}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-02-04 |title=Η επανάσταση των «μαχητών» του 1928! {{!}} Goal News |url=http://goal.com.cy/i-epanastasi-ton-machiton-tou-1928/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170204114140/http://goal.com.cy/i-epanastasi-ton-machiton-tou-1928/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2017-02-04 |access-date=2022-06-13 }}</ref> However, the young men of the club had been active in football much earlier. In the early 1920s they had formed a team with the name "Football Club of Greeks of [[Varosha, Famagusta|Varosha]]" (POEV, {{Langx|el|Ποδοσφαιρικής Ομάδας Ελλήνων Βαρωσίων}}). In 1929, POEV officially joined Anorthosis and its players, all of whom were also members of Anorthosis, formed the club's first football team.<ref name="MEL95" />

===1930s===
In 1930–31, Anorthosis participated in and won the first [[Famagusta District|Famagusta]] provincial football tournament, organised by [[G.S.E.|Evagoras Gymnastic Club (G.S.E.)]].<ref name="MEL95" />

In 1932, Anorthosis participated in the first island-wide tournament, the city championship ({{Langx|el|πρωτάθλημα πόλεων}}), which was organised by [[Pezoporikos Larnaca FC|Pezoporikos Larnaca]] and used a knock-out system. The second city championship was organised by [[APOEL FC|APOEL]] in 1933. 8 teams participated, however it was controversial with several teams making complaints about the integrity of their matches, while Anorthosis and Poseidon Limassol withdrew from participation. The third edition was organised by [[AEL Limassol|AEL]], with Anorthosis finishing in sixth place.<ref name="MEL95" /><ref name="GAV13">{{Cite book |last1=Gavrielides |first1=Michalis |title=Ένας αιώνας Κυπριακό ποδόσφαιρο |last2=Papamouseos |first2=Stelios |publisher=Ο Συγγραφέας |year=2001 |isbn=9963-8720-1-8 |location=Nicosia |language=el |trans-title=A century of Cypriot football}}</ref>

The fourth tournament was due to be organised by Anorthosis. However, after the announcement of a championship in [[Nicosia]] by [[Enosis Neon Trust|Trust]] (to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its foundation), and a resulting dispute between the two clubs, as well as other issues on which there were disagreements ([[Olympiakos Nicosia]] and [[Aris Limassol FC|Aris Limassol]] raised the issue of players freely moving from one club to another), the clubs decided to create an authority which would be responsible for organising the championships. Thus, on 23 September 1934, the [[Cyprus Football Association]] was established, with Anorthosis and 7 other clubs as the founding members.<ref name="MEL95" /><ref name="GAV13" />

In 1934–35 the first official [[1934–35 Cypriot First Division|Cypriot Championship]] was held by the CFA. Anorthosis played their home games at the [[GSE Stadium|G.S.E.]] and finished in 5th place. The [[1934–35 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]] was also held for the first time where Anorthosis were eliminated by [[Enosis Neon Trust|Trust]] in the semi-finals. In [[1935–36 Cypriot First Division|1935–36]], Anorthosis finished in 7th place in the 8 team championship, followed by finishing in bottom position in [[1936–37 Cypriot First Division|1936–37]].<ref name="GAV13" /> In 1937 the club ceased the operation of its football department due to financial difficulties, and was removed from the CFA.<ref name="MEL95" /> During the following years, the G.S.E. was closed under the control of the British Army.

=== 1940s ===
After the team had disbanded in 1937, its players had joined other teams, mainly [[EPA Larnaca FC|EPA]] and [[Pezoporikos Larnaca FC|Pezoporikos]]. In 1945 the club decided to re-establish the football team. Several of the former players rejoined Anorthosis as well as some new players. Anorthosis joined the [[Cypriot Second Division]] for the 1945–46 season; at the time, the Second Division also included reserve teams of the [[Cypriot First Division|First Division]] clubs. Anorthosis would face the reserve team of [[APOEL FC|APOEL]] in a [[Two-legged tie|two-leg]] final to determine the champion. In the first match, APOEL won 5–3 while the second match was a 1–1 draw. The B team of APOEL won the championship, but Anorthosis were promoted to the First Division because APOEL were not allowed to be represented by multiple teams in the same division.<ref name="MEL95" /> Additionally, the [[Cyprus Football Association|CFA]] wanted to promote Anorthosis because there were no other First Division clubs from [[Famagusta]] at the time.<ref>{{Cite news |date=14 November 1953 |title=Το παγκύπριο πρωτάθλημα Β΄ κατηγορίας |language=el |trans-title=The pan-Cypriot second division championship |pages=3 |work=Έθνος}}</ref>

Anorthosis reached the final of the [[1946–47 Cypriot Cup]]. They would lose 4–1 to APOEL.<ref name="GAV13" />

In 1947, Anorthosis along with EPA and Pezoporikos requested a change in the constitution of the CFA with the main demand being the rotation of presidency between all cities. The clubs felt that they were being unfairly treated relative to teams from [[Nicosia]], where the CFA was based, and that particularly APOEL were treated favourably by the officials.<ref name="MEL95" /> The request was discussed at a general assembly of the CFA on 27 August 1947, but only those three teams voted in favour of the proposal. Following the result, Anorthosis, EPA and Pezoporikos withdrew from the CFA and formed their own organisation, the "Football Athletic Federation of Cyprus" (PAOK, {{Langx|el|Ποδοσφαιρική Αθλητική Ομοσπονδία Κύπρου}}), based in [[Larnaca]].<ref name="MEL95" /><ref name="GAV13" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-08-08 |title=Ιστορίες... κυπέλλου {{!}} ποδοσφαιρο, κυπελλο coca cola {{!}} Goal Κύπρου |trans-title=Histories... of the cup {{!}} football, Coca-Cola Cup {{!}} Goal Cyprus |url=http://goal.philenews.com/article.asp?catid=19186&subid=2&pubid=128653822 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150808185221/http://goal.philenews.com/article.asp?catid=19186&subid=2&pubid=128653822 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2015-08-08 |access-date=2022-06-15 |language=el}}</ref> Five additional clubs ([[Antaeus Limassol|AMOL Limassol]], [[Gençler Birliği S.K.|Larnaka Türk]], [[Mağusa Türk Gücü S.K.|Mağusa Türk Gücü]], Mağusa Türk Ujiu and [[Çetinkaya Türk S.K.|Çetinkaya Türk]]) joined this federation. The conflict between the two federations ended after one year when PAOK was dissolved and Anorthosis, EPA and Pezoporikos were reintegrated into the CFA in the autumn of 1948.<ref name="MEL95" />

Anorthosis finished in second place in the [[1948–49 Cypriot First Division|1948–49 First Division]]. They played in the [[1948–49 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]] final in April 1949 at the [[GSP Stadium (1902)|G.S.P.]] in Nicosia, where they were trailing 3–2 against APOEL until the 87th minute when the game was stopped due to incidents among the players and crowd trouble. The game was replayed in June at the same stadium, with Anorthosis victorious 3–0 and winning their first major trophy.<ref name="MEL95" /><ref name="GAV13" />

=== 1950s ===
The 1949–50 season was historic for Anorthosis, as they won the [[1949–50 Cypriot First Division|Cypriot First Division]] for the first time, finishing one point ahead of [[EPA Larnaca FC|EPA Larnaca]].<ref name="MEL95" /> The two sides also met in the final of the [[1949–50 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]], in which Anorthosis was leading 1–0 until the final minutes when EPA won a [[Penalty kick (association football)|penalty]]. The kick was successful, but the referee ordered a retaking. The second attempt was unsuccessful and the EPA fans invaded the pitch, causing the match to be abandoned after 82 minutes. The [[Cyprus Football Association|CFA]] ordered a [[Replay (sports)|replay]] of the match, which EPA won 2–1. Anorthosis felt they were wronged and that a replay should never have been ordered, as the match was stopped due to the fault of the opposing team.<ref name="GAV13" />

In the following years, Anorthosis did not challenge for the league and they could not progress past the semi-final stage of the cup in any year. Starting in 1956–57, however, the team's fortunes changed, as they won 5 championships and 3 cups in 8 years. Anorthosis won the [[1956–57 Cypriot First Division|1956–57 First Division]] without losing a game, and then retained the title in [[1957–58 Cypriot First Division|1957–58]]. The following year no championship was held due to the [[Cyprus Emergency|Cypriot War of Independence]]. However, the [[1958–59 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]], which had not been played since 1954–55 for the same reason, was held in [[1958–59 Cypriot Cup|1958–59]] in response to the cancelled championship. Anorthosis would win the trophy, defeating [[AEL Limassol|AEL]] 1–0 in the final.<ref name="GAV13" />

=== 1960s ===
In the [[1959–60 Cypriot First Division|1959–60 season]], Anorthosis won a third consecutive league title and fourth overall. The following season they finished as runners up to [[AC Omonia|Omonoia]]. The [[1961–62 Cypriot First Division|Cypriot First Division]] and the [[1961–62 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]] were both held in the 1961–62 season, the first time both competitions had been played in a season since 1954–55. Anorthosis won the championship and defeated [[Olympiakos Nicosia]] 5–2 in the cup final, achieving the first league and cup double in their history.<ref name="GAV13" /> They were awarded the [[Cypriot Super Cup|Shield of Pakkos]] in 1962 without playing the match, as they had won both the league and cup the previous season.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2018-06-17 |title=Cyprus – List of Super Cup Finals |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/cypsupcuphist.html |access-date=2022-06-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617222108/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/cypsupcuphist.html |archive-date=17 June 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The following season Anorthosis won the [[1962–63 Cypriot First Division|First Division]] for the sixth time and again reached the [[1962–63 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]] final. They lost the trophy to [[APOEL FC|APOEL]], after a 2–2 draw and then a 1–0 loss in the replay.<ref name="GAV13" /> The two sides met again for the 1963 Shield of Pakkos, which APOEL won 1–0.<ref name=":1" />

The [[1963–64 Cypriot First Division|1963–64 league season]] was suspended in December 1963 due to [[Cypriot intercommunal violence|intercommunal violence]] on the island and was not resumed. In the [[1963–64 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]], Anorthosis won the trophy beating APOEL 3–0 in the final.<ref name="GAV13" />

For the rest of the decade, Anorthosis were not competitive for any titles, with the exception of the [[1966–67 Cypriot First Division|1966–67 First Division]], in which they finished in third place, one point behind the champions Olympiakos.<ref name="GAV13" />

=== 1970s ===
In the 1970s, Anorthosis did not claim a single league title. However, they managed to win two cups, the first of which was in [[1970–71 Cypriot Cup|1970–71]] when they defeated [[AC Omonia|Omonoia]] 1–0 in a replay at the [[GSE Stadium|G.S.E.]] after a 1–1 draw in [[Nicosia]].

The decade proved to be a terrible time in the club's history due to what happened off the pitch. On 14 August 1974, [[Famagusta]] was [[Turkish occupation of Cyprus|occupied by Turkish troops]] following the [[Turkish invasion of Cyprus]], and Anorthosis was made a [[refugee]] club.<ref name="GAV13" /> The players and fans of Anorthosis were dispersed throughout the free areas of Cyprus.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-11-05 |title=Δύο ιστορικές στιγμές για Ανόρθωση |trans-title=Two historical moments for Anorthosis |url=http://www.sigmalive.com/archive/simerini/sport+time/columns/kyriakatika/567873 |access-date=2022-06-15 |language=el |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151105223805/http://www.sigmalive.com/archive/simerini/sport+time/columns/kyriakatika/567873 |archive-date=5 November 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Anorthosis Famagusta continued with a temporary base in [[Larnaca]].

Despite the difficulties that the club was facing, Anorthosis managed to finish in sixth position in the [[1974–75 Cypriot First Division|1974–75 First Division]]. In addition, they reached the [[1974–75 Cypriot Cup|1974–75 Cup]] final and lifted the trophy after a 3–2 victory against [[Enosis Neon Paralimni FC|Enosis Neon Paralimni]].<ref name="GAV13" />

=== 1980s ===
The 1980s was another disappointing period in the history of the Anorthosis football team, as they didn't win a single trophy in this time. In [[1981–82 Cypriot First Division|1981–82]], Anorthosis had the worst season in their history until that point, as they were involved in a relegation battle. They eventually finished in ninth place.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-12-03 |title=Χειρότερη χρονιά για την Ανόρθωση το 1981-82 {{!}} News |trans-title=The worst year for Anorthosis 1981-82 {{!}} News |url=http://www.sigmalive.com/simerini/sport-time/cyprus/375347/xeiroteri-xronia-gia-tin-anorthosi-to-198182 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161203234221/http://www.sigmalive.com/simerini/sport-time/cyprus/375347/xeiroteri-xronia-gia-tin-anorthosi-to-198182 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2016-12-03 |access-date=2022-06-15 |language=el}}</ref> In [[1982–83 Cypriot First Division|1982–83]] they finished as runners up by just three points to [[AC Omonia|Omonoia]]. In [[1984–85 Cypriot First Division|1984–85]] they once again fought for the championship but after a poor end to the season they finished third. Anorthosis only managed to reach the semi-final stage of the Cypriot Cup once during the decade, in [[1982–83 Cypriot Cup|1982–83]], when they were eliminated by Omonoia.<ref name="GAV13" />

=== 1990s ===
In the 1990s, Anorthosis returned to winning titles and became one of the permanent contenders for the championship. In [[1990–91 Cypriot First Division|1990–91]] Anorthosis finished in second place, three points behind [[Apollon Limassol FC|Apollon]]. They finished in the same position in [[1991–92 Cypriot First Division|1991–92]], this time two points behind [[APOEL FC|APOEL]]. In [[1993–94 Cypriot First Division|1993–94]] they again finished in second place for the third time in four years, this time 2 points behind Apollon. In the same season Anorthosis reached the [[1993–94 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]] final, where they were beaten 1–0 by [[AC Omonia|Omonoia]].<ref name="GAV13" />

After a 32-year wait, Anorthosis finally won their seventh league title in [[1994–95 Cypriot First Division|1994–95]]. They also won the [[Cypriot Super Cup|CFA Shield]] for the first time in 33 years at the start of the 1995–96 season, defeating APOEL on penalties after a 1–1 draw.<ref name=":1" /> Anorthosis finished second in the [[1995–96 Cypriot First Division|1995–96 First Division]].<ref name="GAV13" />

Over the next four seasons, with Kikis Konstantinou as president and [[Dušan Mitošević]] as manager, Anorthosis would be the permanent champions of Cyprus. To begin with, they won the [[1996–97 Cypriot First Division|1996–97 First Division]]. They lost the 1997 CFA Shield match 2–1 against APOEL,<ref name=":1" /> but won both the [[1997–98 Cypriot First Division|First Division]] and [[1997–98 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]] titles in 1997–98, the second league and cup double in their history. They defeated Apollon 3–1 in the cup final,<ref name="GAV13" /> and then again 4–1 in the 1998 CFA Shield match.<ref name=":1" />

The [[1998–99 Cypriot First Division|1998–99 First Division]] finished with Anorthosis as champions for the tenth time, beating Omonoia on goal difference thanks to an all-time record 95 goals scored in the first division. They reached the [[1998–99 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]] final once again, but were defeated 2–0 by APOEL.<ref name="GAV13" /> They won the 1999 CFA Shield by beating APOEL 2–0.<ref name=":1" />

=== 2000s ===
Anorthosis won their fourth consecutive league title in [[1999–2000 Cypriot First Division|1999–2000]],<ref name="GAV13" /> and also won the 2000 [[Cypriot Super Cup|CFA Shield]].<ref name=":1" /> In the [[2001–02 Cypriot First Division|2001–02 First Division]], Anorthosis lost the title to [[APOEL FC|APOEL]] by just one point. However, they continued their successful era by beating [[Ethnikos Achna FC|Ethnikos Achna]] in the [[2001–02 Cypriot Cup|Cypriot Cup]] final, earning them another appearance in the CFA Shield match, which they lost 4–2 against APOEL.<ref name=":1" /> They again lost the league title by just one point in [[2002–03 Cypriot First Division|2002–03]], this time finishing second behind [[AC Omonia|Omonoia]]. The cup final was once again won by Anorthosis in [[2002–03 Cypriot Cup|2002–03]], this time on penalties after a 0–0 draw against [[AEL Limassol|AEL]].<ref name=":5">{{Cite book |last=Papamouseos |first=Stelios |title=Από την ενοποίηση... στ' αστέρια (Κυπριακό ποδόσφαιρο 1953-2013) |publisher=Ο Συγγραφέας |year=2013 |location=Nicosia |language=el |trans-title=From the unification ... to the stars (Cypriot football 1953-2013)}}</ref> They lost the 2003 CFA Shield match 3–2 against Omonoia.<ref name=":1" />

In 2004, [[Temur Ketsbaia]], who was in his second successful spell as an Anorthosis player, became [[Player-coach|player-manager]] and remained in charge of the team until 2009, leading the team to multiple trophies and the biggest achievement of the club, participation in the [[UEFA Champions League]] group stages.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-11-05 |title=Παρελθόν ο Κετσπάγια από τον πάγκο της Ανόρθωσης – Contra.gr – Live Sports Magazine |trans-title=Past of Ketsbaia from the bench of Anorthosis – Contra.gr – Live Sports Magazine |url=http://www.contra.gr/Soccer/Cyprus/DivisionA/article1035487.ece |access-date=2022-06-15 |language=el |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151105224716/http://www.contra.gr/Soccer/Cyprus/DivisionA/article1035487.ece |archive-date=5 November 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In the summer of 2008, Anorthosis became the first Cypriot club to qualify for the [[group stage]]s of a European competition. They defeated [[Olympiacos F.C.|Olympiacos CFP]] in the qualifying round to secure a place in Group B of the [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League|2008–09 Champions League]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-11-05 |title=Ολυμπιακός-Ανόρθωση 1-0 – Champions League – SPORT 24 |trans-title=Olympiacos-Anorthosis 1-0 – Champions League – SPORT 24 |url=http://www.sport24.gr/football/ChampionsLeague/article321134.ece |access-date=2022-06-15 |language=el |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151105224427/http://www.sport24.gr/football/ChampionsLeague/article321134.ece |archive-date=5 November 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-11-05 |title=ΑΝΟΡΘΩΣΗ: 100 χρόνια ζωής... |trans-title=ANORTHOSIS: 100 years of life... |url=http://www.sigmalive.com/archive/sports/football/cyprus/a+league/350202 |access-date=2022-06-15 |language=el |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151105223827/http://www.sigmalive.com/archive/sports/football/cyprus/a+league/350202 |archive-date=5 November 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Despite being heavy underdogs, Anorthosis still had a chance to progress to the knockout round ahead of the final group game, after producing some great results.

===2010s===
After the most successful decade in the club's history in the 2000s, Anorthosis would not win a single trophy in the next decade. They suffered from financial problems in the first years of the 2010s, although in the [[2012–13 Cypriot First Division|2012–13 season]] they fought for the championship, and were leading by 6 points after 20 weeks. However, they had a poor run of results and ultimately finished in second position.<ref name=":5" />

In July 2013, following elimination from the [[2013–14 UEFA Europa League|Europa League]] second qualifying round at the hands of [[Gefle IF]], the club entered a financial crisis and forced club president Savvas Kakos to step down from his position. A general assembly of the club followed and in August, Achilleas Nicolaou was elected as the new president. His first actions were to find a solution for the financial problems and with the help of financial contribution by the fans and Christos Poullaidis, who was deputy president at the time, he succeeded to keep the club alive. In October, Nicolaou stepped down as president with Poullaidis as his successor.

In [[2013–14 Cypriot First Division|2013–14]], Anorthosis finished outside of the top 5 positions in the league for the first time in 24 years, and they did not finish higher than third position for the rest of the decade. In June 2019, club legend [[Temur Ketsbaia]] returned for his second spell as manager.

=== 2020s ===
In the [[2019–20 Cypriot First Division]], Anorthosis were equal on points with first-placed [[AC Omonia|Omonia]] but ranked second due to a worse head-to-head record, when the season was abandoned due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{cite web |date=15 May 2020 |title=Δ.Σ.

The cup victory earned Anorthosis a place in the [[2021–22 UEFA Europa League|2021–22 Europa League]] qualifying rounds. They lost to [[SK Rapid Wien|Rapid Wien]], and dropped into the [[2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League|Europa Conference League]] playoffs. They beat [[Hapoel Be'er Sheva F.C.|Hapoel Be'er Sheva]] 3–1 on aggregate and secured their return to the group stage of a European competition. They were drawn in Group B with [[K.A.A. Gent|Gent]], [[FK Partizan|Partizan]] and [[FC Flora|Flora]]. Despite losing their opening two games and then drawing both games against Flora after leading 2–0, they were still in with a chance of qualifying for the knockout stages ahead of the final game thanks to a spectacular long-distance goal by [[Lazaros Christodoulopoulos]] which gave them a shock 1–0 home victory over Gent. They would draw 1–1 in [[Belgrade]] against Partizan, missing out by 2 points on progression to the knockout rounds.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Season 2021/22 Groups {{!}} UEFA Europa Conference League |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/history/seasons/2022/groups/ |access-date=2022-06-16 |publisher=UEFA |language=en |archive-date=16 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220616004654/https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/history/seasons/2022/groups/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In the [[2021–22 Cypriot First Division|2021–22 league season]], Anorthosis were hopeful of qualifying to the [[2022–23 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] by finishing in the top 2 positions with two games remaining in the season, however a 1–1 draw against [[APOEL FC|APOEL]] and a 3–0 home defeat to [[Aris Limassol FC|Aris Limassol]] left Anorthosis in fifth position and outside of the European qualification positions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Κυπριακή Ομοσπονδία Ποδοσφαίρου – Επίσημη Ιστοσελίδα |trans-title=Cyprus Football Association – Official Webpage |url=https://cfa.com.cy/Gr/standings/42288472 |access-date=2022-06-16 |website=cfa.com.cy |language=el |archive-date=23 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220523181217/https://www.cfa.com.cy/Gr/standings/42288472 |url-status=live }}</ref> Manager [[Temur Ketsbaia]] left the club in June 2022 by mutual consent.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-15 |title=Κοινή ανακοίνωση Ανόρθωσης Αμμοχώστου και Τιμούρ Κετσπάγια |trans-title=Joint announcement of Anorthosis Famagusta and Temur Ketsbaia |url=https://anorthosisfc.com.cy/2022/06/koini-anakoinosi-anorthosis-ammochostoy-kai-timoyr-ketspagia/ |access-date=2022-06-16 |website=Ανόρθωσις Αμμοχώστου Ποδόσφαιρο |language=el |archive-date=15 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220615154047/https://anorthosisfc.com.cy/2022/06/koini-anakoinosi-anorthosis-ammochostoy-kai-timoyr-ketspagia/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The first round of the [[2022–23 Cypriot First Division]] saw Anorthosis out of the Championship playoffs, with the team eventually finishing in seventh place. The team's struggles forced Christos Poullaidis to step down from his position, with Cypriot businessman and former vice-president of the club, Andreas Santis taking over as the new president.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-03-28 |title=Ανόρθωση: Έδωσαν τα χέρια Σάντης – Πουλλαΐδης, κατέληξαν σε πλαίσιο συμφωνίας {{!}} Goal News Cy |url=https://goal.philenews.com/podosfero/kypros/a-katigoria/anorthosi/anorthosi-edosan-ta-cheria-santis-poullaidis-etoimazetai-mnimonio-synantilipsis/ |access-date=2023-08-30 |website=goal.philenews.com |language=el |archive-date=30 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230830121614/https://goal.philenews.com/podosfero/kypros/a-katigoria/anorthosi/anorthosi-edosan-ta-cheria-santis-poullaidis-etoimazetai-mnimonio-synantilipsis/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Antonio Prieto was appointed as the team's technical director, and [[David Gallego]] was appointed as head coach ahead of the 2023–24 season.

==Colours and badge==
Anorthosis have worn [[blue]] and [[white]] colours for the majority of their history,<ref name="Profile">[http://www.anorthosis.com/profile Προφίλ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131031024258/http://www.anorthosis.com/profile |date=31 October 2013 }}, Anorthosis Famagusta Official Website</ref> chosen because they were the colours of the [[Flag of Greece|Greek flag]].

The shade of blue has varied over the years, and Anorthosis home shirts have been worn with either blue or white shorts, and blue, white or [[black]] socks. The inaugural football team of Anorthosis wore [[Byzantine flags and insignia|Byzantine]]-inspired black and [[yellow]] kits, which was brought back as the home kit for the [[Centennial|centenary]] year of the club in the 2011–12 season.<ref>[http://www.shootandgoal.com/page.php?id=39511&bid=8 Ανόρθωση: Kαινούρια χρώματα, ίδιο πνεύμα] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110508153336/http://www.shootandgoal.com/page.php?id=39511&bid=8 |date=8 May 2011 }}, Shootandgoal.com, 26 January 2011</ref> Anorthosis have often used black for their away or third kit since [[Turkish invasion of Cyprus|1974]], intended to represent their lost hometown [[Famagusta]].<ref>[http://anorthosis24.net/2013/01/%CE%B1%CE%BD%CF%8C%CF%81%CE%B8%CF%89%CF%83%CE%B9%CF%82-2012-13-%CE%B7-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%BB%CF%8D%CF%84%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B7-%CE%B5%CF%80%CE%AF%CE%B4%CE%BF%CF%83%CE%B7-%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82-13%CE%B5%CF%84/ Ανόρθωσις 2012–13: Η καλύτερη επίδοση της 13ετίας] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140710141744/http://anorthosis24.net/2013/01/%ce%b1%ce%bd%cf%8c%cf%81%ce%b8%cf%89%cf%83%ce%b9%cf%82-2012-13-%ce%b7-%ce%ba%ce%b1%ce%bb%cf%8d%cf%84%ce%b5%cf%81%ce%b7-%ce%b5%cf%80%ce%af%ce%b4%ce%bf%cf%83%ce%b7-%cf%84%ce%b7%cf%82-13%ce%b5%cf%84/ |date=10 July 2014 }}, Anorthosis24.net, 7 January 2013</ref> In 2020–21, Anorthosis used a white third kit with a photograph of [[Varosha, Famagusta|Varosha]]'s seafront printed on the front of the shirt.

The gold is meant to represent the colour of the sand of Famagusta's coast. A map of the town is also printed on the kit.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/0qSN7wQhtu8 Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20201030165605/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qSN7wQhtu8 Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qSN7wQhtu8| title = FC BASEL – ΑNOΡΘΩΣΗ 3-2 Highlights (24/09/2020) | via=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Anorthosis have used the [[Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix]] as a symbol for most of the history of the club. In 1970, Anorthosis adopted as their first crest an image of the phoenix and the club's name in Greek, ''ΑΝΟΡΘΩΣΙΣ'', inside a circle. The crest remained for the next 15 years, though it never appeared on the shirts. In 1985, Anorthosis changed their crest for the first time, though again it never appeared on the shirts. In 1990, Anorthosis announced their first official crest as a part of an attempt to modernise the club, that was used on the shirts. It featured the image of a burning phoenix and the club name in Greek, as well as 1911, the year the club was established. In 2000 under president Kikis Konstantinou, the club's crest was changed again as a part of an attempt to further modernise and capitalise on new marketing opportunities. The new badge featured a blue phoenix standing over the fire. It lasted for the next 11 years, with some minor modifications such as the use of different colours, appearances of the phoenix and the addition of a star to celebrate the tenth championship of the club. For the centenary season in 2011–12, the new president Savvas Kakos announced a special emblem to celebrate 100 years that featured the year of the club's establishment and the current year, 1911 and 2011 respectively, on the crest.<ref>{{cite web |title=Διαγωνισμός Δημιουργίας εμβλήματος για τα 100χρονα |url=http://www.anorthosis.com/news/1755 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130117003609/http://www.anorthosis.com/news/1755 |archive-date=17 January 2013 |access-date=27 August 2010 |publisher=Anorthosis.com}}</ref> In 2012, Anorthosis made some alterations to the 100 years crest, which became the permanent new logo of the club. In 2020, the football department came up with a new logo that was intended to help with the marketing of the club. The blue phoenix rising from the flames was no longer surrounded by the traditional shield and its wings shaped the blue and white stripes using negative areas. Above the phoenix, the year 1911 is featured as well as a gold star representing the 10 championships. Initially, the new logo was used on the 2020–21 shirts, however after backlash from fans of the club it was removed, and the 2012 version was restored.

Anorthosis, in order to recover from their relocation, had to build a new stadium. [[Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium]] is the home of [[Anorthosis Famagusta]] and it was built in 1986 in the city of [[Larnaca]]. The ground was given the name of a person who helped Anorthosis in various ways through the years, he was a fighter in [[EOKA]] war for Cyprus independence and unity with Greece and Anorthosis helped the war and he was also a very talented football player of Anorthosis and later a manager. The initial capacity of the ground was about 6,000 but gradually increased during the years to 13,000. With a major reconditioning in 1998, capacity was reduced to 10,230 (all seated).

In 2005 the east stand was named "Quality Stand" after the club's main sponsor. "Quality Stand" is a two-story stand which holds the newly built VIP boxes (upper story), press room, dressing rooms, and bar. In 2006, the stadium went through another reconditioning including the building of VIP Boxes in the upper section of west stand, the launching of the automatic ticketing issue and entrance system, the replacing of the metal front fence with clear acrylic glass for security reasons and for maximized field view. Also, some other facilities are offered in the west stand such as new restrooms, bar, and fans' shop.

The stadium also is approved by [[UEFA]] for European games. It has hosted some matches of the [[Cyprus national football team]]. In this stadium, Cyprus achieved its greatest success against [[Spain national football team|Spain]] by a score 3–2. On 16 May 1992, the stadium hosted the 1992 UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship Third position final between [[Italy national football team|Italy]] and [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]], which [[Italy national football team|Italy]] won 1–0.

On 23 November 2011, D. Ellinas group signed a contract with Anorthosis to build new offices for Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium. The old offices of the stadium will be a joint area outside the locker room, journalistic theory, clinics and other. The cost is €400,000 but the D. Ellinas group will build the offices for free in exchange for advertisements on the Anorthosis side.

==Supporters==
The fans of Anorthosis are spread throughout Cyprus due to the occupation of Famagusta by the Turkish military, with many living near Larnaca where the current stadium is located. There are supporters associations all over the island and in other countries as well including Greece, the UK and the USA. In 2022, a study found Anorthosis to have the support of 15.1% of football fans in Cyprus, making it the third most popular team behind [[AC Omonia|Omonia]] and [[APOEL FC|APOEL]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=(ΕΡΕΥΝΑ UNIC) 2012-2022 – Ποιες ομάδες αύξησαν και ποιες μείωσαν τα ποσοστά τους {{!}} Kerkida.net |url=https://www.kerkida.net/eidiseis/a-katigoria/aek/ereyna-unic-2012-2022-poies-omades-ayxisan-kai-poies-meiosan-ta-pososta-toys |access-date=2022-07-21 |website=kerkida.net |date=12 July 2022 |language=en |archive-date=21 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220721085443/https://www.kerkida.net/eidiseis/a-katigoria/aek/ereyna-unic-2012-2022-poies-omades-ayxisan-kai-poies-meiosan-ta-pososta-toys |url-status=live }}</ref>

The main [[ultras]] group of Anorthosis was formed in 1994 and is known as 'Maxhtec', meaning 'Fighters' ({{Langx|el|Μαχητές|translit=Makhités}}, stylised as ''MAXHTEC''). The idea is to never stop fighting until they return to their beloved town of Famagusta. The emblem of Maxhtec is an ancient warrior helmet, similar to those worn by the [[Sparta]]ns. The Anorthosis ultras have a friendly relationship with their counterparts from Russian club [[FC Dynamo Moscow|Dynamo Moscow]] and Serbian club [[OFK Beograd]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sticker depicting Anorthosis, Dynamo and OFK friendship. |url=https://ultrasfamagusta.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/tumblr_nolteyXVRs1temvbzo1_1280.jpg |website=Ultras Famagusta |access-date=27 February 2022 |archive-date=27 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220227000134/https://ultrasfamagusta.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/tumblr_nolteyXVRs1temvbzo1_1280.jpg |url-status=live }}</ref>

The Anorthosis fans are known for being very passionate about their team, their lost hometown Famagusta and their [[Greek Cypriot nationalism|Greek Cypriot]] heritage. In the stands there can often be seen many [[Flag of Greece|Greek flags]], [[Greek Orthodox Church|Greek Orthodox]] flags and tributes to former [[EOKA]] members, many of whom were also members of Anorthosis, such as [[Grigoris Afxentiou]].
