Pancyprians Are Metropolitan Conference Champions, Eyes Now on the National Amateur Cup
The New York Pancyprian Freedoms have done it again. With dominant wins over SC Vistula Garfield and New York Athletic Club, the team has officially clinched the Metropolitan Conference Championship of the Amateur Premier Soccer League (APSL)—adding yet another title to their storied legacy.
This victory reflects the cohesion, grit, and relentless commitment that defines the Pancyprian identity. Week after week, the squad has delivered consistent performances on both sides of the ball, rising above fierce competition from top rivals including the NY Greek Americans and Lansdowne Yonkers FC. The championship marks a high point in a season dedicated to something far greater than just silverware.
The club continues to honor its roots, playing this season in memory of the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus—a dark and painful moment in history for the Cypriot community. The 2024 USASA National Amateur Cup Championship was dedicated to the people of Cyprus and their continued fight for freedom and justice, as well as to the club’s beloved late player and benefactor, Constantinos (Dino) Iordanou.
Now, with the APSL Metropolitan title secured, the focus shifts to the next challenge: the 2025 USASA National Amateur Cup. As reigning National Amateur Cup Champions, the Freedoms are charging forward into the third round of this prestigious tournament with one goal in mind—winning it all again.
Their next match is set:
NY Pancyprian Freedoms vs. Lansdowne Yonkers F.C.
Sunday, May 18, 2025 – 5:00 PM
St. Michael’s Field – Woodside, NY
The matchup promises to be one of the toughest yet, as Lansdowne F.C. has long been a respected and fierce opponent. Still, with momentum behind them and purpose in every pass, the Freedoms remain locked in.
Along with the success of the first team, on Sunday, May 11, the New York Pancyprian Freedoms II drew with NYAC II to secure second place in the third division of the Cosmopolitan Soccer League. to earn promotion into the second division.
The mission is clear: keep making history and shine a light on those still seeking justice. The journey continues—and the Pancyprians aren’t done yet.
