He announced that he is “hanging up” his football boots
Fotis Papoulis announced the end of his football career with statements after the end of the cup final with AEL.
“It was something which I wanted very much. I went in, I knew I had to give it my all. These are my last races in this career. With God's help I celebrated a cup to leave with my head held high, the way I came. I thank all the sports fans of Cyprus. I also thank Apollo's family for their respect and love.”
About the next day: “The next day is difficult. Tough moment. I will rest, I will enjoy my family. It's hard. When you've been taught to do this thing since you were a little kid. I thank everyone and I and my family will be a part of Cyprus.”
