History

Digenis Akritas Morphou is one of the oldest sport clubs in Cyprus. It was established on 23 April 1931 under the full name of "Mousikofilologikos ke Athlitikos Sillogos Digenis Akritas Morfou".

Its first executive panel comprised Stavros Geroudis, Christos Koumeras, Christos Sofroniou (Chamberlaine) Christakis Yiallourides, Pantelis Tsiapparis, Melis Hatzhiloizou, and Charalambos Odisseos.
