UNIC Sports Management Students Experience Professional Football Operations at GSP Stadium

On 4 May, a group of students from the Sports Management programme visited GSP Stadium to attend the Omonia vs. Apollon match, as part of their Sports Marketing course, accompanied by their lecturer, Dr George Yiapanas, adjunct faculty of the Department of Management.

During the visit, students received a brief but insightful presentation from Mrs Alexia Michaelidou of Omonia FC’s Marketing Department, who shared valuable perspectives on marketing strategies and fan engagement practices employed by a leading football club. The group also had the opportunity to meet with the stadium’s General Manager, Mr Phivos Constantinides, who provided an overview of stadium operations, event management, and safety and security protocols.

Following a short tour of the stadium, GSP and Omonia FC hosted the students in the VIP Box to enjoy the match.

This visit offered students hands-on exposure to real-world sports marketing and significantly enriched their understanding of the field.
