We are pleased to announce that Pavlos Charalambous will be joining Wingate University in Fall 2024. Pavlos who represented Cyprus from U15 to U19 level, made his men's debut with AEK Larnaca's men's team aged 18. He spent last season on loan at Ermis Aradippou in the Cyprus 2nd Division, making 18 appearances.
Located 50km from Charlotte, North Carolina, Wingate University is a private Liberal Arts university with an enrolment slightly under 4000 students. Having won a national championship in 2016, the Wingate Bulldogs are considered one of the strongest men's soccer programs in NCAA Division 2. In 2022 the Bulldogs won their conference's regular season championship and made the third round of the national championship. Last season the team reached the conference championship final and once again qualified for the national championship.
Charlotte is regularly ranked as one of the best cities in the USA for millennials. Most notably it has the third-highest concentration of financial services talent among the top 50 metros, with several major corporations such as Bank of America having their global headquarters in Charlotte.
At Wingate, Pavlos will be joining fellow JSA Athlete Zach Panagiotou.
