Keravnos Strovolou FC () was a Cypriot football club based in Strovolos, Nicosia. The team was part of the Keravnos B.C. sports club, which was founded in 1926. The parent club fields a men's Division A basketball team.
Founding The Men's football division was originally formed in 1926 when Aggelos Hadjiiosif, part of Keravnos B.C. sports club, approached an amateur football team called "Neolea"(). The team, formed by various school students from the Nicosia District, qualified for the finals of a league held in Lakatamia where amateur teams were participating. Mr. Hadjiiosif approached "Neolea"() before the finals and made them an offer to appear at the finals as Keravnos Strovolou FC (), providing them with all the necessary equipment.
The offer was accepted and they re-branded themselves as Keravnos Strovolou FC (). They proceeded to emerge victorious in their first official match during that cup's finals.
