Kyriaki Vasiliou (Greek: Κυριακή Βασιλείου; born 17 June 1997) is a Cypriot footballer who plays as a midfielder for First Division club Lakatamia FC and the Cyprus women's national team.
Career[edit]
While playing for local team Kokkinohorion, Vasiliou received, in 2015, the award for the 2015 Best Young Footballer of the Year.[3]
Salonica's top division team Aris showed an interest in Vasiliou while, in 2018, she was studying Physical Education in the city, an interest reciprocated by the player[4] though the transfer did not materialize, since she agreed terms with Panserraikos F.C. of Serres.[2]
On 27 February 2019, she was called up to the Cyprus women's national team. She played in the first half of a 2–1 friendly win against Lithuania.[5][6]
In 2021, Vasiliou expressed her "frustration" with what she perceived as lack of equal treatment and pay between men and women footballers in Cyprus, and her wish to play "abroad."[7] However, after the end of the 2021-22 season, she signed with Cyprus' top-division club AC Omonia.[8][9]
