AEP Paphos FC
AEP Paphos ( el, Αθλητική Ένωση Πάφος, ''Athlitiki Enosi Pafos''; "Athletic Union Paphos") was a Cypriot football club based in Paphos.

When the two clubs joined to form AEP, APOP was in First Division, and managed to remain there, and Evagoras was in the Second division without managing to achieve promot ...
