Our Starting Lineup

Maria Kollias-Captain

Bride & Striker

Matt Zaikos-Captain

Groom & Goalkeeper

Katerini Zaikos-Koumbara

Right Wing

Maria’s ride-or-die, hype woman, and tactical advisor. Fluent in eyelashes and drama management (also a Family Lawyer). Always ready to create some give-and-go plays with the Bride, either on the field or on a yacht.

Spiro Koskinas-Koumbaro

Left Center Back

Matt’s best bro and drinking buddy. Brings vibes, football stories, and possibly a beer everywhere. First on the dance floor, last off. Using his GK defensive mindset, he will be anchoring the defence for a clean sheet.

Yianis Buzas-Best Man

Center Mid

Life of the party and Matt’s partner-in-crime. Loves a briskola celebration and might pull a Zidane headbutt mid-game. Hoping for him to bring his Josh Allen talents to this match and get on the ball and start attacks. He's the #1 soccer player in Greece, huge off-season transfer!

Petros Kollias-Groomsman

Left Mid

Just score! Might complain his stomach hurts, but is always willing to bring out a Zembekiko move on the field when needed. You can find him in the wide channel or with Demi.

Victor Zaikos-Groomsman

Right Center Back

The steady rock of the defence. Cool-headed, loyal, and always ready to cover when things get chaotic. Plays like a Sergio Ramos out on the pitch. Most talented DJ out there and will also be on the aux in the changeroom pre-game, and most likely playing 'Freed From Desire'

Theodora Cartwright-Bridesmaid

Right Back

Maria’s sister and throwback lyric queen. Will run the full flank in our attacking style of play.

Panayiota Buzas-Bridesmaid

Right Mid

Certified wife with top-tiered dance moves and full of energy. Maria’s go-to girl and midfield link to her husband, Yiani “John” Buzas.

Demi Kottas-Bridesmaid

Left Striker

Queen of sass, event planner, and prosecco strategist. Locked and loaded.

Eleni Vasilos-Bridesmaid

Left Wing

Fashion critic, Toronto night-out expert, and defensive style icon.

Dr Dr Thomas Zaikos-Groomsman

Our Coach/Our Leader

Matt's brother and he's the man with the prescription for victory. By day, he’s a double doctor; by night, he’s judging everything soccer-related. With vast coaching experience and a calm coaching manner, he diagnoses problems before they happen and then finds a solution. Dr. Dr. Thomas is the heartbeat of the squad—making sure no one flatlines under pressure. Our coach, our doctor, our Pep!
