Panos Nakhid, son of former national captain David Nakhid is currently on a football scholarship at American University in the United States and is reportedly making steady progress in the game.

Panos, born in Greece, has had some strong performances for American, after joining them on scholarship from the David Nakhid International Football Academy in September last year.

Among his highlights included an 89th minute game winner in a 1-0 victory over Loyola University to guide American to their 10th win of the season.

American reached the quarter-finals of the Patriot League but lost on penalty kicks to the US Military Academy.
