The Famagusta municipal stadium was used by the team only for training until 1974. [21][23][25] That year, when Famagusta was occupied by the Turkish army, the club moved its headquarters in Larnaka. [26] Refugees and reactivation[edit] A tragic day in Nea Salamis' history was the 14 August 1974 occupation of Famagusta by Turkish troops as a result of the invasion of Cyprus, which made it a refugee club. [2] The city remains in Turkish hands, [2] and fans and players scattered to free areas of Cyprus or abroad. Although while Cypriots struggled to adjust to the occupation sports were a low priority, club members tried to maintain its presence.
The first Nea Salamis track meet was the Famagusta races on 25 March 1948 at the GSE stadium, at which the club was victorious. Participants included Nikis Georgiou, Panayiotis Kalogirou, Antonis Totsis, Koumis Kkeses, Kostas Manoli, Nikos Kokkinos and Christofi Tsiakkiros. The track team was successful because GSE's top track athletes joined Nea Salamis, but the football team was not strong because few players from Anorthosis had joined Nea Salamis. [7] Expulsion from GSE Stadium and founding of CAFF[edit] Before the May 1948 Pancyprian Games, the Hellenic Amateur Athletic Association (SEGAS) asked all sports clubs in Cyprus to publicly support the rightists in the Greek Civil War, espousing "nationalist beliefs" and condemning the leftists. [2][4] The rightist athletic clubs and athletes signed the statement; the only club which refused was the "Kinyras" Paphos Gymnastic Association, which was excluded from the games.
The volleyball team (created in 1976) is one of 20 charter members of the Cyprus Volleyball Federation, which was founded in 1978. In Nea Salamis' first Cyprus Volleyball Division 1 season the team finished second, also finishing second in 1981 and 1982. In 1981, they lost the championship on a points difference.
[1] The team's home is the indoor Spyros Kyprianou Athletic Center in Limassol. [53] Nea Salamis, 2010–11 Division 1 champions, at Apollon Stadium From its early days Nea Salamis Famagusta has supported a volleyball program, [54] and since 1954 the club has organized popular amateur summer leagues and championships. Participants have included Anorthosis Famagusta FC, the Anagennisi Dherynia, Marathon Kato Varosha and ENAD Agios Memnon. [30] In 1975 Nikis Georgiou proposed creating a volleyball team in Limassol to preserve the club since many Nea Salamis fans moved there after the occupation the year before.
