The 2007–08 season (May 13, 2007 - May 18, 2008) is APOEL's 32rd consecutive season in the Cypriot First Division. The club won the championship the previous season so it played in the Champions league qualifiers. Manager Marinos Ouzounidis left the club by mutual consent on January, 2008 due to the club's lower-than-expected performance of the team in the Cypriot First Division, and was replaced by Ivan Jovanović [1].
