Fotis Ioannidis, born on 10 January 2000 (age 26), is a Greece international striker now with Sporting CP. His career, though, has been shaped far more by Panathinaikos than by any other club.
Across five seasons with Panathinaikos, Ioannidis made 139 league appearances and scored 36 league goals. That is the body of work which gives his career its weight: sustained involvement, regular responsibility, and enough end product to matter without requiring any great mythology around it.
His strongest league season came in 2023-24, when he scored 15 goals in 28 appearances for Panathinaikos. For a centre-forward, that is the sort of year that changes how a player is viewed – not as a prospect being indulged, but as a striker carrying proper influence.
At Sporting CP in 2026-27, Ioannidis has started sharply, with two goals from two Liga Portugal appearances and seven appearances in all competitions, including five in the Champions League. He has also featured for Greece this season, making four appearances in European World Cup qualifying.
Ioannidis remains best understood through his Panathinaikos spell: five seasons, regular football, and a clear scoring peak before the move into Portuguese football with Sporting CP.
