Dimitris Vassiliou is the first Greek Cypriot who will play for the Turkish Cypriot team. The 35-year-old player has signed a contract with the second division club Degirmenlik. "This is news in itself! It seems incredible, but it is a fact!!!" read the Greek-Cypriot media.

According to publications in the past, he played for Omonia Aradipou, Ermis Aradipou and other teams in lower categories. This year the first team took part in the second professional group of the Cypriot Championship.

Having arrived in the northern part of the island, Vassiliou was received by the president of the Turkish Cypriot Football Association Hasan Sertoglu who wished him a successful career in Degirmenlik.

According to the Turkish Cypriot electronic edition kibrisgazatesi.com, the first participation of the Greek player will probably be on Saturday, in the Degirmenlik - Hamitkyoy match.

Surely, Vassiliou’s decision has caused anger and resentment in the football circles in Cyprus, and not only in them, as commented by the Greek-Cypriot media.
