The 1957-58 Cypriot Second Division Season

The 1957-58 Cypriot Second Division was the fifth season of the Cypriot second-level football league, with nine teams participating in the competition. Organized by the Cyprus Football Association, this season took place on February 2, 1958.

Orfeas Nicosia emerged as the champion of the division after winning their first title. The team's success was a significant milestone for the club, marking an important step towards promotion to the top tier of Cypriot football.

The league format consisted of two geographical groups: Limassol-Larnaca-Paphos Group and Nicosia-Famagusta-Keryneia Group. Each group featured teams from specific districts in Cyprus, with all teams playing against each other twice - once at home and once away. The team with the most points at the end of the season was crowned a group champion.

The winners of each group then participated in the Champions Playoffs, where Orfeas Nicosia ultimately emerged victorious over Panellinios Limassol, winning both matches 2-0 and 2-1. This victory marked Orfeas Nicosia's promotion to the Cypriot First Division for the following season.

The changes introduced during this season included the addition of new members to the Cyprus Football Association (CFA), including Amathus Limassol and Enosis Agion Omologiton, as well as the dissolution of Antaeus Limassol. The teams that were promoted to the Cypriot First Division for the 1957-58 season included Apollon Limassol.

The stadium locations played a crucial role in determining team performances during this season.
