AEK Kouklia F.C.

AEK was started by young people from Kouklia, Paphos to get young people involved in sports and away from drugs and other harmful habits. In Paphos, there wasn't a regional league back then, so the team played friendly games with teams from other areas around Paphos. In 1971, the Football Federation of Rural Clubs of Paphos (POASP) was founded. AEK participated in the federation's competitions from 1973 to 2006, winning many championships and cups. In 2006, AEK became champions in the 1st division of POASP and subsequently secured the promotion to Cypriot 5th Division (membership championship), enabling its entry into the Cyprus Football Federation (CFA) and the Cypriot Fourth Division. In its inaugural participation, the team secured a 2nd-place finish and earned promotion to the 3rd division. AEK remained in this division for five consecutive seasons, finishing 9th in the 2007-08 season, 7th in 2008-09, and 6th in 2009-10. During this period, AEK reached the final of the Cypriot Cup for lower divisions, but was defeated by Chalkaronas Idaliou (1–0). In the 2010-11 season, AEK again finished in 6th place. However, in the 2011-12 season, AEK won the 3rd division, securing promotion to the 2nd division. Despite this success, AEK faced disappointment in the final of the Cypriot Cup for lower divisions, losing to Digenis Akritas Morphou with a score of 2–1. Following this season, AEK rose to the Cypriot First Division in 2012-13 season by securing 2nd place in the Second…
