Club Career

Career in Sweden

Papagiannopoulos’ playing career began in the youth system of AIK. He played for the club’s U-19 team before making the switch to his first professional senior side in Vasby United. His defensive abilities and goal-scoring prowess saw him continue to raise eyebrows. His coach had said: "If he works hard, he can be a very good player". After two years on Vasby's squad, Papagiannopoulos signed for Akropolis IF on loan. He was a basic toll for his new team and participated in 24 matches. Assyriska FF came calling in 2011 and Papagiannopoulos began a four-year stint with the Swedish second division club. He made 75 appearances for the team in those four seasons producing consistent and steady performances at the back for his team.
