AEK Larnaca FC ({{langx|el|AEK; for short Αθλητική Έvωση Κίτιον Λάρνακας |translit=Athletiki Enosi Kition Larnakas}}, "Athletic Union Kition of Larnaca") is a Cypriot professional football club based in Larnaca. The club was formed in 1994 after a merger of two historical Larnaca clubs, EPA Larnaca and Pezoporikos. The club also has a men's basketball team, a women's volleyball team and a men's futsal team. {{citation needed|date=September 2022}}

The club's name comes from the ancient Greek city of Cyprus, Kition, which was located on the site of today's Larnaca. The colours of the club are yellow and green, and their emblem is admiral Kimon, who died at the seafront while defending the city of Kition circa 450 BC, in a fight against the Persians. He had told his officers to keep the news of his possible death secret. The quote "Και Νεκρος Ενικα" ("Even in death he was victorious") refers to Kimon.{{cite web |title=Η Ιστορία του αρχαίου Κιτίου |url=http://www.aek.com.cy/page/%CE%B1%CF%81%CF%87%CE%B1%CE%AF%CE%BF-%CE%BA%CE%AF%CF%84%CE%B9%CE%BF%CE%BD |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151030233817/http://www.aek.com.cy/page/%CE%B1%CF%81%CF%87%CE%B1%CE%AF%CE%BF-%CE%BA%CE%AF%CF%84%CE%B9%CE%BF%CE%BD |archive-date=30 October 2015 |access-date=11 November 2015 |publisher=aek.com.cy |language=Greek}}

The club's key milestones - beside being runner-up for the league 6 times - , are qualifying to the 2011–12 and 2022–23 UEFA Europa League group stages, winning the Cypriot Cup in two instances in 2004 and 2018, its Champions League debut in 2022, and becoming the second Cypriot club to make the Round of 16 of a European competition, and the first to do so in the Europa Conference League.

History

=Foundation=

AEK was founded on 18 July 1994. It came from the merger of two historic Larnaca clubs, EPA Larnaca and Pezoporikos.{{cite web|url=http://www.sigmalive.com/archive/simerini/sport+time/cyprus/554238 |title=Οι "εκλεκτοί γονείς" της ΑΕΚ Λάρνακας |publisher=sigmalive.com |date=22 February 2013 |access-date=11 November 2015 |language=Greek |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151030233224/http://www.sigmalive.com/archive/simerini/sport%2Btime/cyprus/554238 |archive-date=30 October 2015 }}

== EPA and Pezoporikos ==

Pezoporikos had been established in 1924. In 1926, serving retired members of Pezoporikos founded AMOL (stands for "Athletic Educational Union of Larnaca" in Greek). In 1932, the two clubs were merged, creating EPA Larnaca (EPA stands for "Union of Pezoporikos-AMOL" in Greek). However, in 1937 a group of members and players of EPA left and refounded Pezoporikos. After several decades, in 1994, the two clubs were merged and created AEK Larnaca.

EPA had 50 participations in the first division, won the championship three times (1945, 1946, 1970), the Cypriot Cup on five occasions (1945, 1946, 1950, 1953, 1955), and in one instance won the Super Cup (1955). In addition, during the season 1970–71, EPA participated in the Alpha Ethniki of Greece. They also had three appearances in European competitions.

Pezoporikos had 49 participations in the first division, won two championships (1954, 1988) and one Cypriot Cup (1970). They also had three appearances in European competitions.

Apart from football, the two clubs had other athletic departments. The decision to merge was made, in order to create a sports club in Larnaca which could star in all competitions (football, basketball, volleyball, etc.) without financial problems.

=1994–1999: The early years=

After the merger of Pezoporikos and EPA, AEK replaced Pezoporikos in the first division (EPA had been relegated in the last season of its existence). In its first participation in the championship, in the 1994–95 season, AEK finished in 9th place. In the 1995–96 season, they finished 4th. AEK and APOEL were tied for the best defense in the league with 21 conceded goals. In the 1995–96 Cypriot Cup, the club reached the final, where they lost to APOEL.

However, because APOEL had won the championship and participated in the 1996–97 UEFA Cup, the finalists of the Cypriot Cup, AEK represented Cyprus in the 1996–97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. In the preliminary round, AEK faced the Armenian club Kotayk Abovyan. The first match took place in Armenia (8 August 1996), where AEK lost 1–0.{{cite web|url=http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/ecwc/history/season=1996/round=153/index.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130105013617/http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/ecwc/history/season=1996/round=153/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 January 2013|title=1996/97 UEFA CUP WINNERS' CUP Qualifying round|publisher=UEFA|date=16 January 2009|access-date=11 November 2015}} The second leg was held at the New GSZ Stadium on 22 August 1996 with AEK winning 5–0 and progressing to the first round of the tournament. In this round, AEK were drawn to face Barcelona. The first leg (12 September 1996) was held at the Barcelona Olympic Stadium, where the Spanish team won 2–0.{{cite web|url=http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/ecwc/history/season=1996/round=154/index.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130105072650/http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/ecwc/history/season=1996/round=154/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 January 2013|title=1996/97 UEFA CUP WINNERS' CUP First Round|publisher=UEFA|date=16 January 2009|access-date=11 November 2015}} The second leg took place at the GSZ Stadium (26 September 1996) and ended in a 0–0 draw, meaning Barcelona had qualified. They would go on to reach the final and win the competition.

Before the beginning of the 1996–97 season, AEK, as runners-up of the Cypriot Cup, played against the league winners for the Super Cup, losing 1–0.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/cypsupcuphist.html |title=Cyprus – List of Super Cup Finals |date=5 September 2013 |access-date=11 November 2015 |url-status=live |website=RSSSF |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151019045239/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/cypsupcuphist.html |archive-date=19 October 2015}} In the 1996–97 season, AEK finished in 4th place and reached the semi-finals of the domestic cup. This was followed by 5th place in 1997–98, before returning to 4th place in the 1998–99 season.

=2000s=

For three seasons in a row, 1999–00, 2000–01 and 2001–02, AEK finished in 7th place. In the 1999–00 season they reached the Cypriot Cup semi-finals, and in the 2002–03 season they finished in 8th place.{{citation needed|date=November 2015}}

The 2003–04 season was very important for the history of the team, as they managed to win their first trophy. Although they finished 9th in the league, they reached the final of the Cup, where they beat AEL Limassol at the GSP stadium with a score of 2–1. Winning the cup gave AEK the opportunity to participate European football for the second time, in the 2004–05 UEFA Cup, where they faced faced Maccabi Petah Tikva in the second qualifying round of the competition. The first match took place on 12 August 2004 at the GSP stadium where AEK won 3–0.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/79284--aek-larnaca-vs-m-petah-tikva/|title=2004/05 UEFA Cup|publisher=UEFA|date=12 August 2004|access-date=11 November 2015|archive-date=3 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121203231004/http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2004/matches/round=1974/match=79284/index.html|url-status=live}} However, in the rematch in Israel, AEK lost 4–0 and was eliminated from the tournament.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/79285--m-petah-tikva-vs-aek-larnaca/|title=2004/05 UEFA Cup|publisher=UEFA|date=26 August 2004|access-date=11 November 2015|archive-date=26 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826055149/http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2004/matches/round=1974/match=79285/index.html|url-status=live}}

In 2004, as cup winners, AEK faced league champions APOEL for the Cypriot Super Cup. AEK lost 5–4 after extra time. In the 2004–05 season AEK finished in 9th place, just three points clear of relegation. The following season they finished 8th. In the 2005–06 Cypriot Cup, AEK reached the final against APOEL. The final took place at AEK's home ground, the GSZ Stadium, however, they failed to win the trophy, being defeated 3–2 after extra time.{{citation needed|date=November 2015}}

The participation of the team in the 2011–12 Europa League was historic for both the club and for Cypriot football.

==Spanish Larnaca==

In 2014, the arrival of sporting director Xavi Roca marked the beginning of a Spanish era at AEK Larnaca. Under the coach Thomas Christiansen, there were six regular starters from Spain in the lineup during the 2014–15 season. That season, the team challenged for the championship trophy until the last matchday. In the penultimate matchday, the team faced APOEL with whom they drew 1–1. If AEK had won, they would go to the top of the table.{{cite web|url=http://www.cfa.com.cy/Gr/news/22530/1762710/159|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150524234726/http://www.cfa.com.cy/Gr/news/22530/1762710/159|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 May 2015|title=ΑΠΟΕΛ – ΑΕΚ 1–1 (video)|publisher=CFA|date=16 May 2015|access-date=11 November 2015|language=Greek}} In the last matchday, AEK beat Anorthosis and finished 2nd for first time in its history.{{cite web|url=http://www.cfa.com.cy/Gr/news/22618|title=Η τελική κατάταξη|publisher=CFA|date=24 May 2015|access-date=11 November 2015|language=Greek|archive-date=4 June 2022|archive-url=https://archive.today/20220604172206/https://www.cfa.com.cy/Gr/news/22618|url-status=live}}

As in 2014–15, Larnaca finished in 2nd place in the League for the 2015–16 season. As it was the case in the previous season, there were six Spaniards in the starting eleven, but this time just one player from Cyprus.

Christiansen then left to League rivals APOEL Nicosia. He was replaced by a Spaniard, Imanol Idiakez. Under Idiakez, Larnaca finished second once again in the 2016–17 season. The team's highest scorers in the league were Ivan Trickovski with 14 goals, followed by the Spaniard Acorán Barrera who netted 9 goals. Idiakez nominated seven Spaniards as regular starters, but not a single player from Cyprus. The 2017–18 season saw AEK Larnaca finishing in 4th place but winning the Cyprus Cup for the second time. The French striker Florian Taulemesse scored a staggering 22 goals in the championship and was nominated player of the year and player of the Cyprus Cup Final for the season. Imanol Idiakez completed 100 games as AEK Larnaca coach, and in his final game he won the Cypriot Cup.

Led by David Catala, and interim coach David Badia towards the end of the season, AEK Larnaca finished 2nd in the 2021–22 campaign. Cyprus' ranking in the UEFA coefficients at the time, meant that AEK had qualified for Champions League football, for the first time in the club's history.{{Cite web |date=22 May 2022 |title="Αυτοκτόνησε" στην Πάφο ο ΑΠΟΕΛ, πήρε το... δώρο και πάει Champions League η ΑΕΚ |trans-title=APOEL commits "suicide" in Paphos, AEK takes the... gift and is going to the Champions League |url=https://www.alphanews.live/sports/live-i-mahi-tis-2is-thesis-foto-binteo |access-date=2022-07-29 |website=AlphaNews.Live |language=el |archive-date=24 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220624155124/https://www.alphanews.live/sports/live-i-mahi-tis-2is-thesis-foto-binteo |url-status=live }} Spaniard José Luis Oltra was brought in as the new coach for the 2022–23 season.

AEK made its Champions League debut in a qualifying round against Midtjylland on 19 July 2022. They were eliminated on penalties following two consecutive draws, and dropped into the qualifying rounds of the Europa League where they knocked-out FK Partizan and SC Dnipro-1, entering the Europa League group stage for the third time in the club's history.

AEK finished third in Group B of the 2022–23 Europa League, and secured its place in the preliminary knockout round of the Europa Conference League, where they would go on to eliminate SC Dnipro-1 to enter the round of 16. This made AEK the second Cypriot club to "survive" a European group stage, and make it to the round of 16 of any European Competition, and the first and only Cypriot club to make the round of 16 of the Europa Conference League. They were eliminated by eventual winners West Ham United. AEK finished their league campaign in 3rd place. They gained entry into the Europa Conference League qualifying rounds, but failed to make the group stage.

Since October 2016, AEK Larnaca's home ground is the AEK Arena which opened its doors hosting the very first match of AEK Larnaka against Aris Limassol.{{cite web|url=http://aek.com.cy/home|title=ΑΕΚ Larnacas|website=aek.com.cy|access-date=4 April 2018|archive-date=4 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180404201318/http://aek.com.cy/home|url-status=dead}}

The previous home stadium of the football team was the New GSZ Stadium, which was commonly used by EPA and Pezoporikos.{{cite web|url=http://www.cfa.com.cy/Gr/clubs/1374198/110|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140812202143/http://www.cfa.com.cy/Gr/clubs/1374198/110|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 August 2014|title=Α.Ε.Κ.ΛΑΡΝΑΚΑΣ|publisher=CFA|access-date=11 November 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.aek.com.cy/page/%CE%B3%CE%AE%CF%80%CE%B5%CE%B4%CE%BF |title=Γηπεδο (ΓΣΖ) |publisher=AEK Larnaca |access-date=11 November 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151030233831/http://www.aek.com.cy/page/%CE%B3%CE%AE%CF%80%CE%B5%CE%B4%CE%BF |archive-date=30 October 2015 }} Before the construction of the stadium, the two teams used old GSZ stadium.
