Club career

Feidon Argous

Giannakouli joined Feidon Argous, the first women's football team in her hometown, in 2012 when the club was founded. [5] In the 2015/16 season, she helped them get promoted to the Greek B Division after finishing on equal points with Kariatides Spartis who they later defeated in a decider match. [5]

In the 2016/17 season, Feidon finished second in Group 3 of the Greek B Division. [8] They competed against Agia Paraskevi in a playoff match for promotion to the Greek A Division. The game ended in a 1–1 draw and went into a penalty shoot-out. Giannakouli saved Agia Paraskevi's final penalty, while her teammate, Eirini Nefrou, scored and gave the win to Feidon. [9] In the Greek Women's Cup, Dimitra helped her team reach the final where they faced PAOK. She played the full 90 minutes as her team lost 7–0. [10]

In the 2017/18 season, Feidon finished in last place and got relegated back to the second division with only 1 win and 83 goals conceded.

Avantes Chalkidas

She moved to A Division club Avantes Chalkidas in 2021 and she helped them finish at the top of the second group, conceding only 6 goals in 16 matches. [12] They did not manage to win the league though as they came third in the playoffs round. [13] Giannakouli won the PSAP Best Female Goalkeeper award for her performance during the 2021/22 season. [14]

In July 2022, she renewed her contract with Avantes for the following season, but, due to problems with the administration, she and the rest of the team left the club. [15]

Giannakouli made her debut for the Greek U17 team on 30 September 2014 against the Faroe Islands in the final game of the 2015 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship qualifying round. She kept a clean sheet as Greece won 3–0. [19]

She was called up by the senior team for the first time in 2019 for the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 qualifying, [22] but she did not make her first appearance until 25 June 2022 during a friendly match against Portugal, in which she kept a clean sheet but was subbed off at halftime for Anthi Papakonstantinou. [23] Giannakouli played her first full game for the national team a few months later in a 5–1 loss against France at the last match of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification. [24]
