The 2012–13 season was APOEL's 73rd season in the Cypriot First Division and 85th year in existence as a football club.

The first training session for the season took place on 11 June 2012 at APOEL's training centre. On 23 June 2012, the team flew to Obertraun in Austria to perform the main stage of their pre-season training and returned to Cyprus on 7 July 2012.^[1] During the pre-season training stage in Austria, APOEL played four friendly matches against Blau-Weiss Linz, MFK Košice, SK Sturm Graz and SV Ried. APOEL lost 1–2 by Blau-Weiss Linz, drew 1–1 with SK Sturm Graz and won MFK Košice by 2–0 and SV Ried by 3–2.

On 3 September 2012, APOEL opened their competitive season with a 0–5 win at the Tasos Markou Stadium against Enosis Neon Paralimni.

On 18 November 2012, APOEL suffered its first league defeat after losing 1–2 at home to AEK Larnaca and fell out of first place for the first time during the season.

Hélio Pinto opened the scoring in the 4th minute and AEL equalised ten minutes later but Gustavo Manduca in the 23rd minute gave APOEL the lead again. Despite APOEL was playing with ten players for almost 30 minutes after Aritz Borda was shown the red card in the 64th minute, Constantinos Charalambides scored a third goal ten minutes before the end to give APOEL a very important victory. On 2 December 2012, APOEL beat AEP Paphos by 0–2 at Pafiako Stadium, with two goals scored from Gustavo Manduca and Selim Benachour.

On 3 March 2013, APOEL beat AEK Larnaca by 0–1 at GSZ Stadium, with Mikkel Beckmann netting the game's only goal with long-range effort in the 75th minute. So, after 23rd matchweek results, APOEL was only one point behind leaders Anorthosis.

On 31 March 2013, APOEL achieved the most important victory (so far) in the season by beating the second placed team Anorthosis 0–2 at Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium and opened up a six-point gap from its rivals. Dudu Biton gave his team the lead after 68 minutes of play and Nuno Morais secured APOEL's victory 12 minutes later with a long range effort.

On 6 April 2013, APOEL suffered its first defeat after an eight straight wins run, losing 3–0 at Omonia in the first Championship play-off match. The same time Anorthosis also lost 0–3 at home by AEK Larnaca and so APOEL remained at top with a six-point gap from the second place. On 13 April 2013, APOEL hosted Anorthosis and maintained their six-point advantage thanks to a 0–0 draw at GSP Stadium. On 21 April 2013, APOEL beat AEK Larnaca 0–1 at GSZ Stadium, thanks to Mário Sérgio's direct free-kick in the 63rd minute and opened up an eight-point gap over the second placed team Anorthosis who drew 0–0 against Omonia. On 27 April 2013, APOEL lost 0–1 at home to AEK Larnaca, but one day later Anorthosis also lost 4–0 at Omonia and APOEL were eventually crowned champions for the 22nd time in their history after a very difficult and harsh season. On 12 May 2013, APOEL celebrated their 22nd Championship title in style with an impressive 4–3 win over their arch rivals Omonia and ensured coach Ivan Jovanović’s last home game was a memorable one. Efstathios Aloneftis scored his first goal against his former club, Mario Budimir and Nuno Morais also got on the score sheet, before Gustavo Manduca scoring the winner in the 83rd minute after converting a penalty. At the end of the match, Marinos Satsias, Constantinos Charalambidis and Ivan Jovanović lifted all together the Championship trophy in front of 16,000 fans to officially crown APOEL as the Cypriot First Division champions for the season. On 18 May 2013, APOEL lost at Anorthosis by 2–1, while Gustavo Manduca scored his 12th league goal, in APOEL's last match of the season.

On 31 October 2012, APOEL beat Chalkanoras by 8–1 at GSP Stadium and qualified for the second round of the 2012–13 Cypriot Cup.
