1969–70 Cypriot Second Division

The 1969-1970 Cypriot Second Division Season

The 1969-1970 Cypriot Second Division season was the 15th edition of the Cyprus Football Association's second-tier league. Seventeen teams participated in this season, with Digenis Akritas Morphou FC emerging as champions for the first time in their history.

All seventeen teams played each other twice during the season - once at home and once away - to determine the champion based on accumulated points. The team with the most points at the end of the season was crowned the winner, while the top-ranked team earned promotion to the 1970-71 Cypriot First Division. Conversely, the last four teams were relegated to the 1970-71 Cypriot Third Division.

Notably, Enosis Neon Paralimni FC secured a spot in the 1969-70 Cypriot First Division after being promoted from the previous season's second division. Additionally, Apollon Athienou, LALL Lysi, and Chalkanoras Idaliou gained membership to the Cyprus Football Association during this period.

On the other hand, Evagoras Paphos was relegated back to the 1970-71 Cypriot Third Division after being demoted from the previous season's first division. Furthermore, Keravnos Strovolou FC returned to the league after a one-season absence. However, Ethnikos Asteras Limassol and Ethnikos Achna FC faced expulsion due to some games played without approval.

The 1969-1970 Cypriot Second Division season concluded with Digenis Akritas Morphou FC claiming their first-ever title in the league's history.
