In a statement, APOEL’s management thanked the team’s fans for their massive turnout at the celebrations marking the club’s centennial.
The “blue-and-yellows” made special mention of the torch relay, the exchange of the flame, and the fans’ presence at GSP Stadium on the night of the anniversary, emphasizing that the celebrations will continue, with the relevant details to be announced in the coming days.
Here is the full text of the announcement: “The APOEL management expresses its heartfelt thanks and congratulates the entire APOEL community for its impressive participation in the two-day celebration marking the 100 years of the Legend’s existence.
Downtown Nicosia experienced and felt the grandeur of this historic moment. The torch relay and the passing of the flame symbolized, in the most meaningful way, the continuity of an idea that has remained alive for a century. A flame that has passed through the hands of thousands of athletes over the course of ten decades, all of whom have honored, served, and defended the blue-and-yellow colors.
Special thanks also go to everyone who was at the GSP on the night of our anniversary. To those who stood by the team for 90 minutes, supported it with their voices and presence, and then became part of a unique celebration alongside the entire APOEL family. A journey of memories, emotion, and pride through the history of Cyprus’s greatest sports club.
These moments reaffirmed once again something that needs no proof: APOEL is far greater than any individual, any era, and any human ambition. It is a sporting and social ideal, born 100 years ago, that continues to uphold the ideals and values of its founders.
APOEL belongs to its history, to its world, and to the generations that have followed it, are following it, and will continue to follow it.
Thank you for being part of this historic moment.
Please note that the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the Legend will continue. Details will be announced in the coming days.
With the same pride, the same passion, and the same faith, we move forward into the next century.”
