G.S.E. (Gymnastic Club Evagoras) is a football stadium located in Famagusta, Cyprus and is the home ground of Anorthosis Famagusta FC and Nea Salamina. G.S.E. remains abandoned and in bad condition since 1974 when Turkey invaded the island of Cyprus and took over 30% of it including the city of Famagusta. After 1974 Anorthosis used many football stadiums all around Cyprus like Dasaki Stadium, Dimotiko Stadio Aradippou, Paralimni Stadium, Tsirion Stadium in Limassol, Old GSZ and Neo GSZ Stadium in Larnaka. In 1986 Anorthosis build its own stadium called Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium.
Supporters of Anorthosis are known as MAXHTEC (fighters in greek). The idea is that with fight they’ll get to the top and return back to their beloved town of Famagusta. Anorthosis’ fans are spread all over the island due to the Turkish invasion. They are SI.FI. (supporters associations) all over the island and in other countries as well (Greece,UK etc) . The majority of tha fans live in Larnca, as the temporary stadium is based there. Also there is a massive amount of fans in Limassol and Nicosia. MAXHTEC, the ultras, usually get the North tier of stadium. Anorthosis rivals, but not enemies, are APOEL Nicosia, AC Omonia, AEL Limassol, Apollon Limassol and AEK Larnaca. The main enemy of Anorthosis used to be Nea Salamis FC but the rivalry has weathered out since they both are away from their homes in Famagusta. MAXHTEC are considered right-wing, although that’s not always the case. They put up Greek Flags but they put up Republic of Cyprus flags as well.
