APOEL: Changes its name to APOEL / Famagusta for 46 hours

A joint statement was issued today by APOEL team and club on the occasion of Attila's provocation for the opening of the beach of the enclosed Famagusta.

This announcement:

The entry of the occupying force in the besieged city of Famagusta, is a third invasion of Attila, 46 years after the first and the second. APOEL condemns the actions of the occupying power and calls on the whole world to raise its voice against those who encroach on the untouched lands of the ancient city of Engomi and Salamis.

On this day when the bulldozers wake up the only "ghost" city in all of Europe, we will not be left out. The idea and values ​​of APOEL that are attributed by its founders with the phrase "Two magic words, two wonderful ideologies, two great prides, two glories. HELLENISM and consequently APOELISMOS ”, allow us to add symbolically next to the name of the Greek Athletic Football Club of Nicosia, the symbolism of a city that is the voice of the refugee, in our divided homeland.

By decision of the Boards of Directors of the company and the Association, for 46 hours as many years as the city of Famagusta remained "free" from the boot of the conqueror but besieged with barbed wire, we are symbolically APOEL / FAMAGUSTA.
