Kyriaki Vasiliou (Greek: Κυριακή Βασιλείου; born 17 June 1997) is a Cypriot footballer who plays as a midfielder for First Division club Omonia FC and the Cyprus women's national team.
Career
[edit]Club career
[edit]While playing for local team Kokkinohorion, Vasiliou received the award for the 2015 Best Young Footballer of the Year at the televised KOP awards.[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]
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."[5] In the 2021–22 season she played for Lefkothea Latsion, scoring in the second match of the season, a 2–1 win against Pafos Geroskipou.[6] In spite of her comments before the season, she signed with Cypriot First Division club AC Omonia after the end of the season.[7] In August 2023 Vasiliou signed a contract extension with Omonia.[8]
International career
[edit]In February 2019, Vasiliou was called up to the Cyprus women's national team while a player of AEL Larissa, for the 2019 Aphrodite Women Cup.[9] She played in the first half of a 2–1 friendly win against Lithuania on the opening day of the tournament.[10][11] She continued to be involved with the national team, receiving a further call-up in November 2022 for friendly matches against Greece,[12] and a 10-day training session in May 2023.[13][14]
