Club career

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

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]
