Giorgos Passios (Greek: Γιώργος Πάσσιος; born 4 May 1980) is a Greek former professional who played as a midfielder.
Club career
[edit]Passios started playing football at the youth departments of AEK Athens. In the summer of 1997 he was promoted to the men's team at the age of 17. He was a tall, versatile player who could easily compete at both midfield and at the center of the defense. Even though he was considered a promising footballer, a series of injuries held him back and he did not manage to establish himself in the squad.[2] He made his debut on 17 May 1998 in a 2–0 win at home against Skoda Xanthi.[3] During his spell with the yellow-blacks, he won 2 Cup in 2000[4] and in 2002.[5] On 17 July 2003 he was released from AEK.[6]
On 27 July 2004, he signed for AEL,[7] where he played in the second division. There, he managed to win the championship and get the promotion to the first division.[8][9] His few appearances[10] resulted in his departure in December 2005 and his move to the second division side, Kerkyra.[11] At the club of Corfu, he managed yet again to get the promotion at the end of the season.[12] In December 2006, after his contact was over, he left the club.[13]
International career
[edit]Passios made 3 appearances for Greece U18 in the 1999 UEFA European Under-18 Championship.[14]
