The Cyprus Sport Organisation's history may be divided into five periods:
PERIOD A: 1969-1974
Efforts were made to organise the Cyprus Sport Organisation with a view to establishing basically National Federations and having them affiliated to the relevant International Federations.
PERIOD B: 1974-1980
Efforts were made to restructure the Cyprus Sport Organisation considering the sufferings experienced because of the invasion, the occupation and at the same time to create the necessary sport infrastructure despite the big financial problems faced in Cyprus owing to 200.000 fellow citizens becoming refugees. That time is characterized as the one when the maximum effort was deployed to maintain and at the same time develop sports in our country.
PERIOD C: 1980-1985
Efforts were made to promote the Cyprus sports on an international level with our presence on the international competitive ground, with disappointing results in several cases but still the hope of achieving something better alive.
PERIOD D: 1985-1989
We experienced the development of the Cyprus sports with our persistent and competitive presence on the European but also the wider international sport ground; the rapid evolution of our sports from the base levels, which resulted to the big increase in our sport potential. We may say that during this five-year period the development course of the Cyprus sports was launched.
PERIOD E: 1990-2000
Our intense competitive presence on the international sport ground was a fact. Victories were won and newly experienced distinctions were granted to our athletes, bearing in mind the recent data available. Sport activities in Cyprus are now involved in a European course and comply fully with the European conventions and the resulting obligations.
PERIOD Z: 2001-2005
A Period of progressive harmonisation with the European data in order for the integration in a united Europe to be achieved, which finally took place on 1 st May 2004, where Cyprus is between the 25 Member states of the European Union.
The most important objective of the Cyprus Sport Organisation , during 2001-2005, is the progressive and essential application of the Bratislava resolutions according to which it is determined that the future course of the European Sports should be "Pure and beneficial sports".
Simultaneously, a decisive importance for the Cypriot Sports was the undertaking and the organisation of Olympic Games in 2004 in Athens. Applying a complete plan of action, CSO seeks the best possible fighting presence of our athletes in the Olympic Games, and in other international Games.
