Basketball

PAEEK was a founding member of the Cyprus Basketball Federation in 1966 rising to fame in the early 1970s after its basketball division won the Cyprus top division basketball league in 3 consecutive years.[1][2].

PAEEK reached the Cyprus Basketball Cup final on 5 occasions losing them all [3]. 1995 was APOEL's year, when they took the basketball double. As losers of the Cup final, PAEEK automatically qualified to represent Cyprus in Europe in the Saporta Cup [4] . They were knocked out by PAOK BC Salonika which in turn went on to reach the final of the competition.The game with PAOK BC was very special for both teams as they were all refugees and victims of the wars between Greece and Turkey.

Football

The football team has not matched the basketball team's success in terms of trophies. They have mostly hovered between the Cypriot Second and Third Divisions.Paeek Fc is considered to be the team with the most appearances in the second division of Cyprus Second Division with 41 in total.
