The 2001–02 Cypriot First Division was the 63rd season of the Cypriot top-level football league. APOEL won their 17th title.

Format

[edit]

Fourteen teams participated in the 2001–02 Cypriot First Division. All teams played against each other twice, once at their home and once away. The team with the most points at the end of the season crowned champions. The last three teams were relegated to the 2002–03 Cypriot Second Division.

The champions ensured their participation in the 2002–03 UEFA Champions League and the runners-up in the 2002–03 UEFA Cup.

The teams had to declare their interest to participate in the 2002 UEFA Intertoto Cup before the end of the championship. At the end of the championship, the higher placed team among the interested ones participated in the Intertoto Cup (if they had not secured their participation in any other UEFA competition).

Point system

[edit]

Teams received three points for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a loss.

Changes from previous season

[edit]

Nea Salamina, Digenis Morphou and Aris Limassol were relegated from previous season and played in the 2001–02 Cypriot Second Division. They were replaced by the first three teams of the 2000–01 Cypriot Second Division, Alki Larnaca, Ethnikos Assia and Ermis Aradippou.
