Initially, the club focused on national, spiritual, cultural, and social activities rather than sports. The name "Anorthosis," meaning realignment or rectification, was inspired by the founders' support for Greek Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos and his vision of enosis, the political union of Greece and Cyprus. It wasn't until 1928 that the club began to develop its sporting activities, although its members had been engaged in football since the early 1920s, forming a team known as the "Football Club of Greeks of Varosha" (POEV). In 1929, POEV officially merged with Anorthosis, creating the club's first football team.
