History
Establishment and first years
The Union of New Paralimni came from the unification of two organized sets of Paralimni. One was the Hercules Athletic Association and the other was the reading room. People's Love. The two organized sets had cultural and competitive action. On April 2, 1944, the two teams are unified. To speed up the process and validate the decision of unification but also to protect assets that could be lost, it was decided as F.S. Hercules absorbs the Love of the People and is renamed the Union of Youths Paralimni. This decision led to the registration as the founding date of the union on February 20, 1936, which was the date of the establishment of the F.S. Hercules.
The new association organized artistic and cultural events, competitions and games, mainly billiard games.
On 18 February 1945 the decision was made to create a football team and track team. They immediately created a field with a wall of reeds. The first football match the team played was in 1945, just before the end of World War II, with German prisoners.
During the EECA race (1955-1959), many members of the union were also members of the EECA. In a space near the ENP stadium the EECA set up many ambushes and that is why the English proceeded to demolish it. After some time the English subsidized his reconstruction.
Insignia and colors
The emblem of the union depicts the Parthenon and the tsolias. The union's colors are cherry, blue and white. The crimson color was established in 1971. At a restaurant in London which belonged to supporters of the team, West Ham United footballer, Bobby Moore, donated to two out-of-town paralimnites two complete West Ham football uniform sets, which were crimson. The two supporters of the ENP, supporters and West Ham United, sent the uniforms to their hometown, Paralimny, with the ENP adopting the crimson colors ever since.
