Anorthosis Famagusta Volleyball (women)

Anorthosis Volleyball Club is the volleyball team of Anorthosis Famagusta, temporarily based in Nicosia, Cyprus.

Short History

Anorthosis (Ανορθωσισ) Women's volleyball team was established in the team's home town, Famagusta and was the first women's volleyball team on the island. After the Turkish invasion in Cyprus (1974), Famagusta's residents were forced to leave the city and spread to other Cyprus cities. Women's team recruited for a short term in Larnaca, but re-established strong foundations in 1987, in Nicosia, by Anorthosis' people who moved there after the war. The first members of the team were schoolgirls, but gradually the team grew and became competitive in the first division of women volleyball. Their first championship came in 2002, and in 2004 Anorthosis managed to win both the championship and National Cup. Since then, Anorthosis has been one of the top four teams of the Cyprus championship, and has won seven championships, seven National Cups and nine Super Cups. That makes Anorthosis the most successful Cypriot women's team of the last 20 years.
