Giorgos Passios (Greek: Γιώργος Πάσσιος; born 4 May 1980) is a Greek former professional who played as a midfielder.
Club career
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] In the summer of 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
Passios made 3 appearances for Greece U18 in the 1999 UEFA European Under-18 Championship.[14]
