History

Founded in 1971, Akritas Chlorakas joined the Cyprus Football Association in 1973, competing in the Cypriot Third Division. For many years, Akritas fluctuated between the third and second division, winning the Third Division a total of three times, and winning the Cypriot Cup for Lower Divisions on one occasion.

Akritas Chlorakas finished third in the 2021-22 Cypriot Second Division, and was promoted to the First Division for the first time in the club's history. Despite some impressive results, including wins against Omonia, AEL, and Anorthosis (three times), Akritas finished in 13th place and was relegated in the 2022-23 season.[3]
