 However, it was not until the [[1999]]/[[2000|00]] campaign that Omonia ended a six-year wait for silverware by lifting the Cypriot Cup. As well as rewarding the patience of supporters, this success maintained the club's strong cup tradition. They had held this trophy for four years between [[1980]] and [[1983]].
-The next term, the championship flag was restored to Omonia. Following Henk Houwaart's arrival as coach midway through the season, the team climbed the table to claim the title after beating defending champions Anorthosis 3-1 in what was effectively a championship decider.

 Omonia finished seven points above second-placed [[Anorthosis Famagusta FC]] that season - and they have subsequently stayed ahead of their rivals in the [[Cypriot First Division|first division]] with an impressive haul of trophies. With 19 league championships and 12 [[Cyprus Cup|Cypriot Cups]], they are the country's most-titled club. In addition, Omonia have claimed a record five domestic doubles - in [[1972]], [[1974]], [[1981]], [[1982]] and [[1983]].
-They were most dominant in the [[1970s]], winning the league for six consecutive seasons from [[1974]] to [[1979]]. It was then that Omonia produced one of Cyprus's greatest footballers in striker [[Sotiris Kaiafas]], as well as the impressive Gregory Savvas. Kaiafas would win the European Golden Boot after finishing as Europe's top domestic scorer in [[1976]] with 44 goals - an accolade still considered the greatest achievement by any Cypriot player.

 Despite the gap in quality between Omonia and other European champions, Omonia proved to be worthy opponents in UEFA club competition. In the European Champion Clubs' Cup in [[1979]]/[[1980|80]], they avenged a 10-0 defeat at AFC Ajax to win the return leg 4-0 with a dazzling display in Nicosia.
 After the departure of Kaiafas, Omonia continued to produce talented players to keep up their winning ways. They were champions from [[1981]] to [[1985]] and again in [[1987]] and [[1989]].
-But despite claiming the title in [[1992]]/[[1993|93]], Omonia were forced to live in the shadow of [[Anorthosis Famagusta FC|Anorthosis]] in the [[1990s]]. Even so, the fans were able to enjoy the goalscoring exploits of Hungarian Joseph Juriac during the first part of the decade, and later those of Rainer Rauffmann.

 A native German, Rauffmann arrived at the club in [[1998]]. He was the island's leading marksman for four years and also played for Cyprus after gaining Cypriot citizenship. He recently retired through injury at the age of 37. Another star of the [[1990s]] was midfield player Kostakis Malekkos, who played after for [[APOEL FC|APOEL Nicosia FC]].
