The 1970-71 Cypriot Third Division Season
The 1970-71 Cypriot Third Division was the inaugural season of the Cyprus Football Association's third-level league. Organized by the governing body, it featured twelve teams competing against each other in a double round-robin format. Keravnos Strovolou FC emerged as champions, claiming their first title in the division.
The season saw all participating teams play each other twice - once at home and once away - with the team accumulating the most points declared the champion. The top two teams were subsequently promoted to the 1971-72 Cypriot Second Division, marking a significant milestone for these clubs as they ascended to higher divisions of the Cyprus football pyramid.
The point system in place during this season awarded two points for each win, one point for draws, and zero points for losses. This format allowed teams to accumulate points based on their performance, ultimately determining the league standings.
