Nea Salamis Famagusta or Nea Salamina Famagusta (grec modern: Νέα Σαλαμίνα Αμμοχώστου) is a Cypriot sport club based in Ammochostos (also known by its Romanized name: Famagusta), Xipre. The club is named after the ancient city of Cyprus, Salamina (Xipre) or Salamina, which is located nearby modern Famagusta. Today, the club maintains departments for men's Futbol and Voleibol. It previously operated football departments for women too, as well as track and field, Esports aquàtics and Tennis de taula.
The club was founded on 7 March 1948 in order to avoid the political conflicts of that time. The other athletic clubs of Famagusta, Evagoras Gymnastic Association GSE (grec modern:Γυμναστικός Σύλλογος Ευαγόρας) and Anorthosis Famagusta FC, imposed restrictions on Esquerra athletes. In May 1948, the athletes of Nea Salamina refused to sign a declaration of "nationalist conscience", the Hellenic Amateur Athletic Association (SEGAS), banned the athletes of Nea Salamina from entering the GSE Stadium.
This club and other newly established clubs of the same kind founded the Cyprus Amateur Football Federation (CAFF), which organizes championships and cups alongside the Cyprus Football Association (CFA). Eventually, the two federations came together in 1953 and Nea Salamina became a member of the CFA. Since the 1974 Turkish occupation of the north part of the island, Nea Salamina has been a "Refugiat" team and has been temporarily based in Làrnaca since then.
Football department (men), is the oldest of the club's departments, founded in 1948. Nea Salamis' greatest moment was winning the Copa xipriota de futbol and the Supercopa xipriota de futbol (Super Cup) in 1990. The football team is currently based at Ammochostos Stadium in Larnaka. From 2006 until 2010 the club had a women's soccer department.
The volleyball team (men) is one of the most important in Cyprus. The team organized volleyball tournaments with great participation from 1954 in Famagusta to 1975 and finally decided to set up a volleyball section in Limassol. The team won 9 championships, 7 cups and 8 shields with six consecutive championships and cups from 1998 until 2003. The ground of the volleyball team is in Limassol, the indoor athletic arena Spyros Kyprianou Athletic Center. From 1978 to 1985 the club had a women's volleyball department.
