Another significant moment for Cypriot football has arrived, confirming that the future belongs to the new generation of athletes. At just 16 years old, Alexandros Skender has achieved something truly remarkable, recording a success that fills everyone with pride and optimism for the next chapter of his career.

As part of this major achievement, Mr. Koullis Mitsingas, Technical Director of the Academy, spoke to our camera about the young athlete, the journey that led to this moment, and the importance of his success.

Read below everything he told us:

“Another great achievement by one of our athletes, Alexandros Skender, born in 2010, makes us proud once again. He joined us at the age of four and, after spending eight years with our academy, moved to OMONOIA, where he continued his football journey for another two to three years. Undoubtedly, this is perhaps one of the biggest transfers ever for a 16-year-old player, as he is moving to Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga to continue pursuing the dream he has had since childhood.”

Alexandros Skender’s success is yet another example of how talent, hard work, and dedication can lead to outstanding achievements, regardless of age. The 16-year-old footballer continues to make proud everyone who has supported him throughout his journey, while his accomplishments create high expectations for the future.

One thing is certain: the name Alexandros Skender is one that will attract significant attention in the football world in the years ahead, with many eagerly awaiting the next steps in what promises to be a bright and exciting career.
