A young football fan, Michalis, went viral after his team’s match against another club due to a powerful poster he held up at the OPAP Arena. The poster read, “I beat cancer in my head. Have faith and belief in your life,” catching the attention of Stavros Pelios and Giannis Konstantelos, who gifted him their jerseys. Speaking on Nova’s Monday FC show, Michalis shared how his battle with illness inspired him to support other children facing severe health challenges. He explained that he and his sister created the poster to bring awareness and strength to others. Michalis expressed gratitude for the medical team that successfully treated him and thanked everyone who supported him during therapy. Despite the team’s loss, he remains proud of his experience and plans to frame the jerseys as cherished memorabilia.
