APOEL V.C.
Open-knowledge reference entry
APOEL Volleyball Club is a Cypriot professional volleyball team based in the city of Nicosia. Since 1928, it has been part of the larger APOEL Nicosia multi-sport club. The team competes in Cyprus Volleyball Division 1, the top-level volleyball league in Cyprus, and plays their home games in the Lefkotheo Indoor Arena.
History
The APOEL Volleyball Club was formed in 1928, two years after the founding of its parent club. The team was one of the twenty founding members of the Cyprus Volleyball Federation.
APOEL V.C. has won a total of 11 First Division championships. Of those titles, seven were won under the aegis of the Cyprus Volleyball Federation (CVF); the remaining four were won under the Cypriot Local Committee for Sports, the predecessor to the CVF. In addition, APOEL has won the Cypriot Cup five times. The 1980s was the most successful decade for the team; between 1979 and 1985, APOEL won the Division 1 championship six times and the Cypriot Cup five times.
Following the turn of the 21st century, the team put together a string of good performances in the 2003–04 CEV Top Teams Cup and 2004–05 CEV Cup, but failed to win another title. After a poor performance in the 2008–09 season, APOEL was relegated to the Second Division and temporarily suspended its participation in the league due to financial difficulties.

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4653365. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1928, 1979, 1985 and 2003.
