Host stadiums ( finals )
The Cypriot Cup Final took place in six different stadiums . From 1934–35 until 1974–75 , the final was held in Nicosia , at the old GSP Stadium , regardless if that stadium was the home ground of the one of the two finalist . The only exception was the 1970–71 Cypriot Cup , were a replay final was needed when the first final between Omonia and Anorthosis , that took part at the GSP Stadium ( Omonia 's home ground ) , was drawn . The replay played at the GSE Stadium , the Anorthosis ' home ground at Famagusta . GSP Stadium was chosen as the ground of the final because of its big capacity , compared to the other stadiums in Cyprus . [ 15 ] At 1937–38 , AEL Limassol was the first team outside Nicosia ( and so they did n't use the GSP Stadium as home ground ) to take part in the final . The opponent was Enosis Neon Trust and the ground of the final was the GSP Stadium , which was Trust 's home ground . Cup winner was Trust . The next season , the finalists were AEL Limassol and APOEL . Although that the final was set to take place at the GSP Stadium ( APOEL 's home ground ) , AEL reacted and asked for the final to be played at the GSO Stadium , their home ground in Limassol . A draw was made between the two stadiums , with the GSP to be drawn as the stadium of the final . [ 16 ] [ 17 ] [ 18 ] In 1975 , the Tsirion Stadium at Limassol was built and the final of the 1975–76 Cypriot Cup took part at that stadium . The next two finals played at the GSP Stadium . The final of the 1977–78 Cypriot Cup was the last one that took part at the old GSP Stadium . The final of the 1978–79 Cypriot Cup played at the new build Makario Stadium at Nicosia . [ 15 ] Since 1981 , when Cyprus had most appropriate stadiums for holding such matches , the neutrality of the ground of the final was always the goal , that if teams were coming from different cities , then the final would take place in a third city . At first , there were stadiums from Nicosia ( Makario ) and Limassol ( Tsirion ) . Until 1989 , when the GSZ Stadium in Larnaca was built , when the opponents in the final were teams from Nicosia and Limassol , the ground of the final were determined by a draw . [ 15 ] That was need in three occasions ( 1981–82 Cypriot Cup Omonoia-Apollon Limassol , 1985–86 Cypriot Cup Apollon-APOEL , 1987–88 Cypriot Cup AC Omonoia-AEL ) with always the Tsirion Stadium to be the winner . [ 15 ] [ 18 ] According to the cup 's proclamation , if the final ended in a draw , a replay was played at the home stadium of the other team . This was happened in the 1981–82 , when the first final which was held at the Tsirion ended in a draw and the replay was held at the Makario . In 1989 , the new GSZ Stadium was available and hosted for the first time the 1992-93 final . [ 15 ] In 1999 , the new GSP Stadium was built , and hosted the final of the 1999-2000 Cypriot Cup between Omonia and APOEL . The new GSP Stadium was and is the common home ground of these two teams . Due to the large capacity and the modern facilities , the GSP is the first choice for the cup final , although is not a neutral stadium as the presence of APOEL and Omonia in the final is often . [ 15 ] If the opponent team ( based outside Nicosia ) brought objections , a draw is made between the home stadiums of the two teams . [ 15 ] This happened for the first time in the 2005-06 Cypriot Cup ( final APOEL-AEK Larnaca ) , with the new GSZ Stadium to win the draw . [ 18 ] In the 2015–16 Cypriot Cup ( final Apollon-Omonia ) , a draw was made between the Tsirion Stadium and the GSP , with the first to win the draw . [ 19 ] In some cases , the opponent team agreed the final to be played at the GSP Stadium , even though it was their opponent 's home ground . This was done in five finals . The first time was the 2004-05 Cypriot Cup when Digenis Akritas Morphou ( which had as home ground the Makario Stadium ) accepted the final against Omonia to take place at the GSP , their opponent 's home ground . The 2006-07 , Anorthosis accepted to play the final against Omonia at the GSP , and the same did in the 2007-08 Cypriot Cup final against APOEL . The 2011-12 , AEL accepted to play the final against Omonia at the GSP , as Ermis Aradippou did in the 2013-14 Cypriot Cup against APOEL . [ 15 ] [ 20 ] For the 2016-17 season , the final is scheduled from Cyprus Football Association to be held at the GSP Stadium , no matter which are the two participating teams . [ 21 ] The following table shows the stadiums that held the Cypriot Cup finals from the 1934–35 season until 2015–16 season , the number of finals that each stadium held and the seasons of the every was played in each stadium . Although there are 77 editions of the Cypriot Cup , the finals that are played are 82 , as in five cases the final ended in a draw and rematch was played . The replay could be played either at the same stadium or at the home stadium of the other team , where the first final was held at the home ground of one of the two opponents .
The Cypriot Cup (Greek: Κύπελλο Κύπρου) is the main cup competition in Cypriot football, run by the Cyprus Football Association (CFA). It began in 1934, the same season with the Cypriot Championship. It is the second most important competition for Cypriot club teams after Cypriot Championship. Only the Cypriot First Division and the second division teams are participating in the competition. The sponsor of the competition since 1962 is Coca-Cola and thus officially known as Cyprus Coca-Cola Cup.
