1965–66 Cypriot Second Division
The 1965–66 Cypriot Second Division was the eleventh season of the Cypriot second-level football league. A total of eleven teams participated in this season, with each team divided into two geographical groups based on their respective districts within Cyprus. The format of the competition saw all teams from a group play against each other twice – once at home and once away – to determine the champions of each group.
The winners of each group then proceeded to compete against one another in the final phase, with the ultimate winner being crowned champion of the Second Division. This champion would go on to secure promotion to the 1966–67 Cypriot First Division, marking a significant milestone for the team and its fans. The champions of this season were APOP Paphos, who secured their first title in the league.
The competition was organized by the Cyprus Football Association, which oversaw all aspects of the tournament, including scheduling, rules, and regulations. This marked an important year for Cypriot football, as it showcased the skills and determination of the teams competing at this level.
