Separation from AC Omonia

On 29 May 2018, due to continued financial difficulties, the ownership of AC Omonia's football department officially converted from complete fan-ownership to a for-profit ownership under American-Cypriot businessman Stavros Papastavrou.^[1] The Gate 9 supporter group were unhappy with the change, and on the same day, decided to form a breakaway club.^[2] The club was officially founded on 23 July 2018, under the name PAC Omonia 1948.^[3] In 2020, it was renamed as PAC Omonia 29M, for legal reasons.^[4]

Rise to the First Division

In August 2018, Omonia 29M joined the Pansoleio Sports Federation, which hosts an amateur league in the 5th tier of Cypriot football.^[5] In their first active season, Omonia 29M won the 2018–19 Pansoleio League and Cup, and earned the right to participate in the 2019 STOK promotion play-offs, where they secured promotion to the STOK Elite Division, the fourth tier of Cypriot football.^[6]

Omonia 29M were leading the 2019–20 STOK Elite Division, when the season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They were not named champions, but were awarded promotion to the Third Division.^[7] Their rapid rise of the Cypriot football hierarchy continued the following year, when the club won the 2020–21 Cypriot Third Division, and earned promotion to the Second Division.^[8] This also allowed them to participate in the Cypriot Cup, where, the following season, they were knocked out by Pafos FC in the first round.^[9] The team's supporters did not enter the stadium in protest of the "fan card", which they had to present at the entrance, since the game involved a club from the First Division.^[10]

After three years in the second tier, Omonia 29M finished 2nd in the league, and was able to secure promotion to the First Division.^[11] They were led to this success by former Omonia FC player and manager Nedim Tutić. It is also worth noting that a former FA Cup winner and Omonia FC captain, Jordi Gómez played for the club during the second half of the 2022–23 season.^[12]
