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. The
Gate 9 supporter group were unhappy with the change and on the same day, decided to form a breakaway club. The club was officially founded on 23 July 2018, under the name
PAC Omonia 1948. In 2020, it was renamed as
PAC Omonia 29M, for legal reasons.
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. After three years in the second tier, Omonia 29M finished 2nd in the league, and was able to secure promotion to the First Division. 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. On November 2nd 2024, the team finally played against Omonoia FC, attracting audiences from all over Cyprus, the match ended up being a 1-1 draw, with Gate 9 fans celebrating like they never did before. == List of seasons ==
