Anorthosis legend Mike Obiku returns to Freedom Antonis Papadopoulos stadium

Former Anorthosis striker Mike Obiku returned to the Freedom Antonis Papadopoulos stadium in Cyprus on August 28, 2026. The visit was arranged following a personal invitation from the club’s current president, Christos Maragkos, who sought to honor one of the most iconic figures in the team’s history. During his visit, Obiku toured the dressing rooms, the administrative offices, and walked onto the pitch where he achieved significant success during his professional career.

Obiku’s legacy at Anorthosis is defined by two distinct spells. During his first tenure between 1989 and 1992, he scored 36 goals in 69 appearances. He returned for the 1999-2000 season, netting an additional 14 goals in 21 games and playing a pivotal role in the club winning its fourth consecutive championship. The current administration noted that maintaining such historical ties remains a priority for the organization.

The visit served as a sentimental homecoming for the former player, who was received warmly by the club’s management and staff. No further formal events or future professional engagements between the club and Obiku were announced following the visit.
