Football
The football division was originally formed in 1926. The team has had its ups and downs over the years, where it mostly featured in the second and third divisions. However it achieved promotion to the first division in 1979 and remained there until 1982. During those years, in 1980-81, Keravnos achieved a historical victory against AC Omonia with a score 3-2. They were promoted again and competed in the first division for the 1988-89 season.
However due to lack of funds, in the 1991 annual meeting, the club decided to suspend the football division indefinitely and to focus efforts on developing the basketball team.

Famous quotes containing the word football:
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
