History edit
New Salamis was formed in 1971 by fans of Cypriot club Nea Salamis Famagusta, with the Cyprus-based club acting as a parent club.[1] Playing in the KOPA League, a British Cypriot league,[2] the club won the 2016 FA Sunday Cup, following a penalty shootout win against Barnes at Selhurst Park.[3] Ahead of the 2019–20 season, New Salamis were promoted to the Spartan South Midlands League, following a second placed finish in the Hertfordshire Senior League.[4] New Salamis entered the FA Vase for the first time in 2019–20.[5] In 2021 the club were promoted to the Premier Division based on their results in the abandoned 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons. The following season they were promoted as champions to the Isthmian League North Division.
In March 2024, New Salamis announced that they would fold at the end of the 2023–24 season.[6]
