And I should have just said APOEL, which turns out to stand for Αθλητικός Ποδοσφαιρικός Όμιλος Ελλήνων Λευκωσίας - the Atlhetic Football Club of Greeks of Levkosia (which is the Greek name of Nicosia).

I'm not sure what you mean? Do you want to know more about the poet?

Doros Loizou (1944–1974) was born in Levkosia (Nicosia), Cyprus. After time spent in education in Greece and then the U.S., he returned to Cyprus in 1972 with a degree in History from Boston Hellenic College.
