Keravnos Strovolou FC

Keravnos Strovolou FC (Greek: Κεραυνός Στροβόλου) was a Cypriot football club based in Strovolos, Nicosia. The team was part of the Keravnos B.C. sports club, which was founded in 1926; the parent club fields a men's basketball team.

Founding

The Men's football division was originally formed in 1926 when Aggelos Hadjiiosif, part of Keravnos B.C. sports club, approached an amateur football team called "Neolea"(Greek: Νεολέα). The team, formed by various school students from the Nicosia District, qualified for the finals of a league held in Lakatamia where amateur teams were participating. Mr. Hadjiiosif approached "Neolea"(Greek: Νεολέα) before the finals and made them an offer to appear at the finals as Keravnos Strovolou FC (Greek: Κεραυνός Στροβόλου), providing them with all the necessary equipment.

The offer was accepted and they re-branded themselves as Keravnos Strovolou FC (Greek: Κεραυνός Στροβόλου). They proceeded to emerge victorious in their first official match during that cup's finals.
