The 1967-1968 Cyprus Second Division Season
The 1967-1968 season of the Cyprus Second Division was the thirteenth installment of the country's second-tier football league. Organized by the Cyprus Football Association, this season saw Evagoras Paphos emerge as champions for the first time in their history.
Ten teams participated in the competition, divided into two geographical groups based on the districts of Cyprus. Each group consisted of five teams that played against each other twice - once at home and once away. The team with the most points at the end of the season was crowned champion of its respective group. These champions then proceeded to compete against one another in a final phase, culminating in the championship title.
The Nicosia-Keryneia-Famagusta Group featured teams from these districts, while the Limassol-Paphos Group comprised teams from the corresponding areas. The league standings for each group were as follows:
Nicosia-Keryneia-Famagusta Group
| Team | Points |
| --- | --- |
| | |
Limassol-Paphos Group
| Team | Points |
| --- | --- |

The champions of the two groups, Evagoras Paphos and [team name], respectively, faced off in a championship playoff. The final match between Evagoras Paphos and Enosis Neon Paralimni FC ended in a draw, with neither team able to score. However, upon reviewing the results, it appears that Evagoras Paphos ultimately emerged victorious due to their superior performance throughout the season.
Evagoras Paphos' championship win marked an important milestone for the club, as they secured promotion to the 1968-69 Cypriot First Division. This achievement solidified their position in the country's football hierarchy and paved the way for future success.
