Club career

From 2010 to 2018, Chamalidou played for the Greek Women's A Division team PAOK FC. While at PAOK FC, Chamalidou was on the team that won seven Greek A Division championship titles and five Greek Women's Cup championship titles. She participated in the 2011 Women's UEFA Champions League, all three Group 6 matches in the 2013–14 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying group,[2][3][4] all five matches in Group 2 of the 2015–16 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round (scoring one goal against FC NSA Sofia)[5] and one match in the competition's knockout phase.[5][6][7][8][9] Chamalidou could not play during her last two seasons at PAOK FC due to two successive injuries.[1]

By November 2018, Chamalidou had left PAOK FC, who had intended to loan her to a club outside of Thessaloniki. As she was attending the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Chamalidou rejected the offer and transferred to the A Division team Aris Thessaloniki F.C.[1][10][11]

In July 2019, Chamalidou moved to Spain to sign with Zaragoza CFF, which plays in the North Group of the Segunda División Pro League.[10][11]

By the end of January 2020, Chamalidou had transferred to the Istanbul-based Beşiktaş J.K. to play in the second half of the 2019–20 Turkish Women's First Football League.[12][10] On 22 October 2020, she returned to Greece.[12]

International career

As a member of the Greek women's national under-19 football team, Chamalidou took part in the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualification round, playing three matches and scoring a penalty against Kazakhstan.[13][14][15] She played in three matches at the 2015 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualification round.[16][17][18]

Chamalidou was then called up to the Greek women's national team and appeared in one of the UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying Group 3 matches.[19] After an injury that kept her off the national team list, Chamalidou returned to the team in 2020. She was a member of the team at the UEFA Women's Euro qualification round and the FIFA Women's World Cup qualification round.
