New Salamis

New Salamis Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in Wood Green, London, England. The club was initially established in 1971 by the Cypriot community in London, named after the ancient city of Salamis in Cyprus. The club's primary aim was to provide a platform for young Cypriot players to showcase their talent and passion for football.

The club started its journey in the KOPA Football League, a Sunday league established by the Greek and Cypriot communities in London. New Salamis enjoyed immense success in this league, winning numerous titles and establishing itself as a dominant force. Their success in the KOPA league led them to join the more competitive Hertfordshire Senior County League in 2015.

New Salamis FC made a significant impact in the Hertfordshire Senior County League, winning the Premier Division in their debut season. The club's success continued as they won the prestigious FA Sunday Cup in 2016, a national competition for Sunday league teams. This victory was a significant milestone in the club's history, highlighting their growth and potential.

In 2019, New Salamis FC made a significant leap by joining the Spartan South Midlands Football League, a step 6 league in the English football league system. The club's transition to a higher level of football competition was a testament to their ambition and commitment to growth. Despite the increased competition, New Salamis FC continued to perform well, finishing in a respectable position in their debut season.

New Salamis FC's home ground is the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium in Enfield, which they share with Enfield Town FC. The club's colours are red and white, reflecting the colours of the flag of Cyprus. The club's emblem features a deer, a symbol associated with the ancient city of Salamis.

New Salamis FC has a strong community focus, with a commitment to promoting football among young people in the local area. The club runs several youth teams, providing opportunities for young players to develop their skills and progress through the ranks.

In their relatively short history, New Salamis FC has achieved significant success and made a substantial impact in English football. The club's journey from a community team to a semi-professional outfit is a testament to their ambition, dedication, and the talent within their ranks. Despite the challenges of competing in a higher league, New Salamis FC continues to strive for success, embodying the spirit of the ancient city from which they take their name.
