Cypriot clubs in the Greek league Also, from 1967 until 1974, the Cypriot Champions were promoted to the Greek First National Division and in case of relegation, they were replaced by the Cypriot Champions of the next season. Cypriot clubs were relegated every season from the Alpha Ethniki, apart from 1974, when APOEL managed to remain in the Greek Championship. However, due to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus that year, APOEL withdrew from the League.
