Nikolas Panagiotou (Greek: Νικόλας Παναγιώτου; born 12 May 2000) is a Cypriot footballer who plays as a centre-back for Omonia and the Cyprus national team.

Club career

[edit]

Having come through Anorthosis' academy, Panagiotou was promoted to their first team in April 2019. In July of the same year, he joined Omonia on a three-year contract,[1][2] which he would later renew until 2027.[3]

On 6 October 2022, Panagiotou scored his first goal for Omonia, in a 2–3 home defeat to Manchester United, in the Europa League. This made him Omonia's 101st player to score in a European competition, setting a new record for a Cypriot club's number of European scorers.[4]

Panagiotou helped his team win the 2022–23 Cypriot Cup, having started every game in the competition from the second leg of the quarter finals onwards.

International career

[edit]

He made his debut for the Cyprus national football team on 1 September 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Malta, a 0–3 away loss. He substituted Omonia teammate Fotis Papoulis in the 59th minute.[5]
