AEK Larnaca FC (Greek:Αθλητική Έvωση Κιτίου;Athlitiki Enosi Kitiou) is a Cypriot football club, based in the port of Larnaca. The club was formed in 1994 after a merger of two clubs of Larnaca; EPA and Pezoporikos. AEK Larnaca won their first Cyprus Cup in 2004 beating AEL Limassol 2-1. It is their only title until now as AEK. EPA and Pezoporikos, they have a great individual history. EPA won 3 championship titles, 5 Cyprus Cup titles and 1 Super Cup. Pezoporikos won 2 championship titles and 1 Cup title. The current president of the team is Thomas Kyriakou and the current coach is Marios Konstantinou. The colours of the club are green and yellow and their emblem is the famous Athenian general, Kimon, who died at the seafront defending the city of Citium in a major battle with the Persians of Xerxes. He told his officers to keep the news of his death secret. The quote "Και Νεκρος Ενικα" ("Even in death he was victorious") referred to Kimon. A statue of "Kimon the Athenian" stands proudly on the sea front promenade of modern Larnaca.
