There, the club was given the name \u201cA.E.K\u201d. At the assembly there were about 50 people present. The first elected members of the temporary Board were Demetrakis Aspris, Andreas Kozakos, Costas Pikrallidas, Costas Patsalis, Costas Flouris, Yiannis Kouvakas and Andreas Iakovidis.<\/p>\n<p>On September 8, 1957 a broader general assembly was held at the club\u2019s premises (Paraskeva Spanoudis\u2019 coffee shop, opposite the First Cooperative Grocery store), where representatives of both already existing athletic clubs (Karavas Youth Union and Aris Sports Club) were present. Those present, verified the establishment of the new Club and proceeded to dissolving the two existing athletic clubs, providing at the same time all their tangible and intangible assets to AEK. One of the major acts of the Club\u2019s statute stated the prohibition of any political involvement. The official members of the first Board of Directors were Demetrakis Aspris (president), Andreas Kozakos, Costas Pikrallidas, Costas Flouris, Kyriacos Kozakos and Georgios Tsialia (members).<\/p>\n<p>The leading figure of EOKA in the district of Kerynia, the golden Eagle of Pentadactylos, Kyriacos Matsis played a significant role in achieving the merging of the two clubs. From its foundation and onwards, the Club took part in every athletic, spiritual and artistic event organized in Karavas and the area of Kerynia. AEK managed to promote athleticism and gradually proceeded to creating departments dedicated to football, basketball, table tennis and classical athletics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jpttvflq-0487706218380652748f848191175b9f\">\n#top .avia-gallery.av-jpttvflq-0487706218380652748f848191175b9f .avia-gallery-thumb a{\nwidth:25%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-gallery av-jpttvflq-0487706218380652748f848191175b9f avia_animate_when_visible  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_toggle_container  deactivate_avia_lazyload avia-gallery-animate avia-gallery-1'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><meta itemprop=\"contentURL\" content=\"https:\/\/karavas.eu\/en\/karavas\/organized-groups\/karavas-lambousa-sports-union\/\"><div class='avia-gallery-thumb'><a href=\"https:\/\/karavas.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/aek1-1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/karavas.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/aek1-1.jpg 885w, https:\/\/karavas.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/aek1-1-705x454.jpg 705w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" data-rel='gallery-1' data-prev-img='https:\/\/karavas.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/aek1-1-495x400.jpg' class='first_thumb lightbox ' data-onclick='1' title='AEK&#8217;s football team in 1957-1958.

With AEK leading the way, the football games became more organized and structured throughout the district of Kerynia (EPOEK). Livanos Kormakiti and AEK were the two football teams that were the constant winners of the championship and the Cup.<\/p>\n<p>1972 was a benchmark for AEK, because during that time, the Club managed to become a member of Cyprus Football Association. During the 1972-73 season, AEK took part in the Third Division Championship and came seventh. In the 1973-74 season AEK attempted once again to win the Third Division title but due to various mishaps and the flee of two key players abroad (Costas Kosiaris and Antonis Pavlou), the team managed to only climb to fifth place. During that time, AEK had the second best offense in the championship and managed to score 42 goals. Top strikers were Costas Kosiaris, Iakovos Tsiouroutis and Mishellis. One of AEK\u2019s best games was against Doksa Katokopias at Praxandros stadium (6-2). Marios Papallos, the coach, was one of the few people who devoted himself to the club.<\/p>\n<p>The successful course of AEK and the pursuit of the championship title (a goal set by the Board of Directors at the ceremony organized by the Club at the \u201cMills\u201d in June 1974) were overturned by the Turkish Invasion. In 1975-76, AEK, without any financial resources and with its football players and members of the Board scattered around the free areas of Cyprus responds to the call of the Cyprus Football Association and agrees to reinitiate the football team. After doing so, the team took part in the Second and Third Division Championship along with PAEK, competing together with the name PAEK\/AEK and finished in second place in the league following Ethnikos Achnas. The match was held at Achileas Stadium in Kaimakli and coach was once again Marios Papallos.<\/p>\n<p>In 1977-78, all AEK football players transferred over to the PAEEK football club which swore to promote all football activities of the city and district of Kerynia. Leading figures throughout the course of AEK were Yiannis Kouvakas (football officer) and Takis Vlachos, (player 1957-1973).<\/p>\n<div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jpttw05i-a232ccc842e69232b65227897a74896f\">\n#top .avia-gallery.av-jpttw05i-a232ccc842e69232b65227897a74896f .avia-gallery-thumb a{\nwidth:25%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-gallery av-jpttw05i-a232ccc842e69232b65227897a74896f avia_animate_when_visible  avia-builder-el-3  el_before_av_gallery  avia-builder-el-first  deactivate_avia_lazyload avia-gallery-animate avia-gallery-2'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><meta itemprop=\"contentURL\" content=\"https:\/\/karavas.eu\/en\/karavas\/organized-groups\/karavas-lambousa-sports-union\/\"><div class='avia-gallery-thumb'><a href=\"https:\/\/karavas.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/aek_podosfero1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/karavas.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/aek_podosfero1.jpg 904w, https:\/\/karavas.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/aek_podosfero1-705x449.jpg 705w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px\" data-rel='gallery-2' data-prev-img='https:\/\/karavas.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/aek_podosfero1-495x400.jpg' class='first_thumb lightbox ' data-onclick='1' title='Photo of AEK football players and the veteran footballers at Lampousa stadium in Karavas.

In the beginning of 1972 however, the Board of Directors decided to promote the sport, constructing a basketball stadium with changing rooms, tiers and offices right next to the Club Premises. On November 20, AEK became a member of TEAK and during the season 1972-73 it participated in the Second Division Championship. With Krinos Markides as the team\u2019s coach it managed to rank second behind Olympiakos Nicosia. During 1973-74, with Mikis Shiakallis as coach, AEK once again managed to finish in the second place following ENAO Ayion Omologiton. In the summer of 1973, AEK organized a basketball tournament in Karavas in which the best basketball clubs of Cyprus (APEOL, PAEK, Digenis Morphou and Achileas Kaimakliou) participated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-h2r0go-ef2aaad9c7f85451afffcd50e8d8ca8f'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-3' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-font-color hasCustomColor'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Volleyball\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Volleyball\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Volleyball\">Volleyball<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-3' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-3' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-font-color hasCustomColor'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In 1973 AEK becomes a member of the Hellenic Volleyball Federation and takes part in the 1973-74 Second Division championship achieving good results.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-g1ka0o-b76e9d664bec6d43941e8bc0c12b4365'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-4' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-4' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-font-color hasCustomColor'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-4' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Classical Athletics\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Classical Athletics\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Classical Athletics\">Classical Athletics<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-4' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-4' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-font-color hasCustomColor'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div>\n<p>The Club also promoted classical athletics.

The first time it participated in the First Division Championship, it managed to finish third, gaining the opportunity to compete in international championships.<\/p>\n<p>The first important distinction of the club came in 2005 when the volleyball team participated in the CEV CUP. President of the club during that time was Damianos Hadjidamianou. The games took place in France from the 11<sup>th<\/sup> of November 11 to the 13<sup>th<\/sup>, and the team managed to climb to third place, highlighting AEK\u2019s notable athletic efforts and at the same time promiting the occupied town of Karavas at on an international level.<\/p>\n<p>The most important of AEK\u2019s distinctions came in 2010 when the volleyball team won the First Division Cup. The game took place on the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> of April at the Spyros Kyprianos stadium against the former champion, Anorthosis. The game was exciting and the results were 3-2 in favour of POKKA AEK Karava Lambousa. This distinction made the people of Karavas, the citizens of the area of Kyrenia and all the fans of the club extremely proud.<\/p>\n<p>That very same year, the volleyball team won the Super -Cup, scoring 3-1. The Super-Cup is a game organized annually by the Cyprus Volleyball Federation. Only the title and Cup holder teams have the right to compete in it. The game was held on the 22<sup>nd<\/sup> of October 2010.<\/p>\n<p>After winning the Cup, the volleyball team participated in the 2010 \u201cEuropean Challenge Cup\u201d where AEK played against AEP Patras. The first game took place in Patra on the 17<sup><sup>th <\/sup><\/sup>of November 2010 and AEP Patras won 3-1 set. The second game took place on the 24<sup>th<\/sup> of November 2010 at the University of Cyprus\u2019s stadium. The Greek team won the game once again with 3-0 set. The Europe Challenge Cup was a truly fruitful experience for AEK since it gave the club the opportunity to promote the occupied town of Karavas.During the October 2010 \u2013 April 2011 season, the volleyball team conquered the second place in the championship. AEK had the same points as the champion team of Anorthosis who ranked first with its one-set advantage.<\/p>\n<p>This second place enabled AEK to participate in international games. In December 2011, AEK participated in the CEV Challenge Cup, where the volleyball team beat the Austrian team Hot Volleys with 3-0 set in both games in Vienna and Cyprus. In 2012, AEK proceeded to win the Finnish team Lacapa Ravonec. AEK\u2019s volleyball team managed to qualify for the 16th finals<em>,\u00a0<\/em>gaining essential experiences and positive exposure by the media.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2011-12 season, POKKA AEK Karava Lambousa was crowned champion for the first time in its history, a great achievement that overwhelmed the people of Karavas and the area of Kyrenia with immense pride. The touching winning ceremony took place on the 16<sup>th<\/sup> of March 2012 at the Spyros Kyprianos stadium in Lemesos.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2012-13 season, title winner AEK beat the 2012 Cup winner Anorthosis and won the Super Cup. One more great achievement that honours the town of Karavas and the people who support this refugee sports union. The Super Cup game took place on the 12<sup>th<\/sup> of October 2012 at theSpyros Kyprianos stadium in Lemesos.<\/p>\n<p>Big goals and great desires- these are all interconnected with the love and pride for the occupied town of Karavas. The president and members of the club, the sponsors and the friends of AEK Karava Lambousa reassure people that they will do their best so that the notable course of AEK in the Cypriot sports scene\u00a0 continues until the blessed day of return to its motherland, the unforgettable town of Karavas.<\/p>\n<p><sup>\u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style
