    ATHLETIC CLUB DIONYSOS
 
    Dionysus of Stroumbi was established in 1983 in Stroumbi and since the first year of its foundation it promoted and cultivated volleyball. In the 1991-92 period it secured its promotion to Division A, in which it remained for three consecutive seasons. Since 1991 it uses Pafos as its headquarters / home, preserving however the name "Dionysus of Stroumbi" in honour of those who founded the club in Stroumbi.

It is purely a volleyball club that is characterised by fine organisation and the excellent work taking place in the infrastructure departments. A true jewel for sports in Pafos since, despite the many problems and vicissitudes, not only does it promote and cultivate the sport of volleyball in depth but it also manages to excel. A milestone for the club's history was its collaboration with the Serb-Cypriot coach and player Dragan Milosevich, who significantly aided the development and progress of almost all of the departments. In the 1998-99 period the men's team, comprised mostly of young volleyball players aged 16 and 17, was relegated to Division B, making a strong comeback the very next season and managing to excel. In the 2000-01 period it had an excellent course and managed to secure the 4th position in the championship, participating in the 2001 SPINGFIELD Final Four for the first time in its history. In the 2001-02 period it finished in the 3rd position during the normal season of the championship and was -once again -present in the sport's great feast; in the 2002-03 season it participates in the Final Four for the Third consecutive time.

The very good work done in the infrastructure departments of Dionysus has already brought excellent results. Under the guidance of Dragan Milosevich, Dinoysus has tens of children in its ranks -aged up to 19 -and already has great accomplishments to present.

In its twenty years of life, Dionysus has many and substantial successes to demonstrate.
