Anorthosis Famagusta (Greek: Ανόρθωση Αμμοχώστου, romanized: Anorthosi Ammochostou), commonly known as Anorthosis in English or Anorthosi in Greek, is a Cypriot handball club from Famagusta, which is temporarily based in Nicosia, due to its hometown being occupied by the Turkish army since 1974, that plays in the Cypriot First Division.
The current name of the club is Sabbianco Anorthosis Famagusta due to sponsorship reasons.
The club was founded on January 30, 1911, in the city of Famagusta. In the early years the club was not focused on sports but mainly national, spiritual, cultural and social activities. In 1928 it began to develop sporting activities.[1][2] After the Turkish invasion in July 1974, the club moved to Larnaca (soccer section), Limassol (volleyball section) and Nicosia (handball section).[3]
