Nea Salamis Famagusta FC (alternatively Nea Salamina, Greek: Νέα Σαλαμίνα Αμμοχώστου) is a Cypriot professional football club based in Ammochostos (also known by its romanized name, Famagusta). It has been a refugee club since the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, when Turkey occupied the northern part of the island. There are also fraternal relations with Olympiacos. The club is temporarily based in Larnaca and supported by Meridian.
Nea Salamina's most notable achievements were its victories in the Cypriot Cup and the Cypriot Super Cup in 1990. Its highest finish in the Cypriot First Division is third place. During its first five years (1948–1953), the team participated in the Cyprus Amateur Football Federation championships. In 1953 the club joined the Cyprus Football Association (CFA), participating regularly in association championships and cup competitions. It has played in more than 50 Cypriot First Division seasons, ranking seventh in that category.
