Cypriot First Division 1973–1974

Overview

The 1973–74 Cypriot First Division was the 35th season of the Cypriot top-level football league.

Participants and Results

14 teams participated in the championship. The teams competed against each other twice, once at home and once away. The team that accumulated the most points was declared the champion.

Champions

The championship was won by Omonia for the fourth time in their history.

Qualification for European Cups

The league champions qualified for the 1974–75 European Champion Clubs' Cup. The runner-up also qualified for the 1974–75 UEFA Cup.

Participation in Greek League

Cypriot teams were allowed to participate in the Greek league, and the Cypriot champion would qualify for the 1st National League of Greece for the next season (unless a team from the previous season ensured their stay in the national championship). However, APOEL's participation in the Greek league was not affected by this rule.

Season Details

The season began on September 16, 1973. The final standings were:

* Omonia: champion
* [Runner-up]: qualified for the UEFA Cup

Note: The exact date of the season's start is mentioned only in Source 7 (DE), which states it began on September 6, but this might be a typo or an error, as Source 3 (EN) mentions September 16. To maintain consistency and accuracy, I have used the latter date.
