[*] In 1974/75 season, due to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus which forced many teams that had 
    their headquarters to the north Cyprus to be closed temporarily or permanently, Cyprus
    Football Association decided to have a Special mixed championship of Second & Third Division.
    In this championship could participate all the teams of the Second and Third Division. 
    Participation was optional. The championship had two geographical groups. The winners of
    each group played against each other in the final phase and the winners were the champions
    of the league. The winner was considered as the 1974–75 Cypriot Second Division champions.
