At present, 14 clubs compete in the league. Each club plays the others twice, once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents. Making a total of 26 games for each club in a season. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. The rule for three points for a win has been applied since 1992, before then two points were awarded for a win. Teams are ranked by total points, the matches between the teams, then goal difference and then goals scored. If teams are still equal they are deemed to occupy the same position. If the champions, teams for relegation or qualification for other competitions thus cannot be decided, a series of play-off match(es) are played between the affected teams, although this has yet to occur. Since the establishment of the league and until 2005-06, goal difference had the biggest ranking after total points. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned as champions. The three lowest placed teams are relegated into the Cypriot 2nd Division and the top three teams from the 2nd Division promoted in their place. In sports such as ice hockey and soccer, goal difference (that is, goals scored less goals conceded) is often the first tie-breaker used to rank teams which finish a competition with an equal number of points. ... The following are the football (soccer) events of the year 2006 throughout the world. ... In the sports leagues — especially soccer leagues — of many countries, relegation (or demotion) means the mandated transfer of the worst team(s) (often the bottom three) of a higher league into a lower league at the end of the season. ...


The league is entitled to one entrant in the UEFA Champions League, which is the League champions who enter in the first qualifying round. The winner of the Cyprus Cup and runner-up in the league automatically enters the UEFA Cup first qualifying round. If the cup winners are also league champions, then the losing cup finalists are granted a UEFA Cup berth. If the cup winners qualify for Europe by their league position, then the third-place team in the league qualifies for the UEFA Cup. The highest placed team that has not qualified for the UEFA Cup is allowed the opportunity to compete in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, provided they have applied to enter the Cup in the next season. The UEFA Champions League (also known as the European Cup, UCL, CE1, C1[1] or CL) is a seasonal club football competition organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) since 1955 for the most successful football clubs in Europe. ...

The First Division has had 14 teams since the 1989-90 season, aprt from the 1994-95 season when the league was reduced temporarily to 13 teams. And for some years there has been discussion about the number of teams in the first division which is currently 14, with support growing for a reduction in the number of clubs. Partly due to some of the mid-table clubs not being involved for much of the season in either the Championship or qualification for Europe, or relegation.


OPAP (Organization of Predictions of Football Matches), a betting company, is the main sponsor of the league, with the OPAP name being incorporated into the official name of the league.


History

Football was introduced to Cyprus early in the 20th century by the founding fathers of the game, the British. Initially played in the island's schools, it proved hugely popular and a number of clubs were duly formed.

Since 1911, when Anorthosis Famagusta FC was founded, many clubs were established and in 1932 the Cypriot Championship began annually at first unofficially. Every season, the championship was organized by a different football club which caused some conflicts between some of the teams. Anorthosis Famagusta FC (Greek: Ανόρθωση Αμμοχώστου = Anorthosi Ammochostou) is a Cypriot football and a volleyball club which comes from Famagusta. ...


As football became more established, the clubs were united in agreeing that an official body was needed to regulate the sport. And in September 1934, the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) was formed and the Cyprus Championship and Cup began to take place annually. The first Champions of Cyprus were Trast AC in 1935 but the club folded three years later. The 1930s were dominated by APOEL FC, who won five championship in a row until 1940. Like other Championships in the World, the Cyprus Championship was interrupted, due to World War II from 1941 until 1945.

World War II was followed by the Greek Civil War, which caused a lot of fanatism between Greeks. Since the majority of the island are Greek Cypriots, it had a lot of influence in their society too, including sport. In 1948, some clubs were involved in politics and criticized the left-wing as responsible for the War. Several footballers from those clubs criticized their club but that followed the expulsion of those players from their teams. Those players then went on to help establish new clubs with their own Association and their own football competitions. Until 1953 there were two separate football Championships in Cyprus and two different Associations. However, in 1953, the two Associations unified Cypriot football, and the teams which were established in 1948 under the separate association, were allowed to become members of the CFA. Only AC Omonia were accepted into the First Division. And due to the addition of more clubs that season, relegation and promotion begun in Cypriot football.

The Cypriot Championship unification, lasted for only two seasons.

The reason behind this was political, as the Turkish Cypriot leadership were supporting the partition of the island.

The Cypriot First Division or Cyprus Championship First Division (in Greek Παγκύπριο Πρωτάθλημα Α΄ Κατηγορίας) is the highest football league in Cyprus.
At the end of the season, three clubs are relegated to Cypriot 2nd Division, the second-level league, to be replaced by the top three teams from that league.

AC Omonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (668 words)
It was established in 1948 and became member of Cyprus Football Association in 1953.
Omonia AC were founded just after the Second World War, but it was not until the 1960s that they announced their arrival on the Cypriot football scene by winning their first league title in 1960/61.
Even so, the fans were able to enjoy the goalscoring exploits of Hungarian Joseph Juriac during the first part of the decade, and later those of Rainer Rauffmann.
