Kyperounta Community Stadium

Kyperounda Community Stadium is a multi-purpose football venue located in the village of Kyperounta, in the Limassol District, Cyprus.[1] It primarily serves as the home ground for the local club APEP Pitsilia, which competes in the STOK Elite Division (as of 2025-26 season), and accommodates football matches as well as training sessions. With a seating capacity of 6,000, the stadium features a natural grass pitch measuring 105 meters by 68 meters, supported by basic infrastructure including two dressing rooms, two restrooms, and two spectator stands.[2][3] Owned and managed by the Kyperounta Community Council, the stadium reflects the area's community-driven approach to sports facilities, with oversight provided by Constantinos Constantnou.[1] Its amenities include moderate drainage (rated 3 out of 5), basic lighting (rated 2 out of 5), and field fencing (rated 2 out of 5), making it suitable for regional-level competitions and youth development programs in the Troodos Mountains region.[1]

Location and Coordinates

The Kyperounda Community Stadium is situated in the village of Kyperounta, part of the Pitsilia region in Limassol District, Cyprus.[4] At an elevation of approximately 1,170 meters (3,840 feet) above sea level, the stadium benefits from the cool, temperate climate of the Troodos highlands. Kyperounta itself is one of Cyprus's highest villages, contributing to the stadium's isolated yet scenic setting amid rolling hills and vineyards. The site is roughly 45 km northeast of Limassol, the district capital, and about 78 km southwest of Nicosia, the nation's capital, making it a remote venue accessible primarily by winding mountain roads.[5]

History

The Kyperounda Community Stadium was developed as a key community project in the village of Kyperounda, Cyprus, to support local sports activities, particularly football, in the Pitsilia region. Construction efforts were led by the local community council, reflecting broader post-1974 initiatives to enhance rural infrastructure and community engagement in Cyprus' mountain areas. The stadium was designed with a focus on functionality for football matches, featuring a natural grass pitch and terraced seating areas suitable for local gatherings and competitions. The exact dates of construction and opening are not well-documented in available public sources.
