'''Constantinos Makrides''' ({{langx|el|Κωνσταντίνος Μακρίδης}}; born 13 January 1982) is a [[Cyprus|Cypriot]] international [[association football|footballer]] who last played for [[Apollon Limassol]] as a [[Midfielder#Central midfielder|central midfielder]].

==Club career==
===Apollon===
Makrides started playing football at Apollon Academies and because of his talent was soon training with the first team. Despite this talent, the Limassol team decided to give him more time to mature his game, so he was transferred as a loan to Ethnikos Assia in 2001. The next season, he returned to Apollon and under the coaching of Dusan Mitošević became a starting line-up regular for the team, with 25 appearances. A star was rising but the 2002-03 was not a season for Makrides to remember since [[Ilie Dumitrescu]] did not use him. Having problems with the board and the coach, Makrides demanded to leave the team. His manager proposed him to [[AC Omonia|Omonia]] but the Nicosia team refused. At the very last minute of the January transfer window he was signed to [[APOEL FC|APOEL]].

===APOEL===
Makrides move to [[APOEL FC|APOEL]] was a successful one, and established himself as one of the best in the [[Cypriot First Division|Cyprus League]] and also became a regular to the national team. He played mainly as a [[Midfielder#Winger|right winger]] for [[APOEL FC|APOEL]] and won two [[Cypriot First Division|championships]], two [[Cypriot Cup|cups]] and one [[Cypriot Super Cup|super cup]]. He had also many [[UEFA|European]] competitions appearances. Probably the best goal in his career so far is the goal against [[Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]] in the [[UEFA Cup]] where he started from his own half, passed the entire Maccabi defence and slid a shot past the goalkeeper.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UEFACup/FixturesResults/Round=2207/match=81522/Report=RP.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080129122849/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UEFACup/FixturesResults/Round=2207/match=81522/Report=RP.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 29, 2008 | title=APOEL show winning stamina|publisher=[[UEFA]]|date=August 25, 2005}}</ref>

He was considered one of the key figures of the team, that finished 4th place in the [[Ukrainian Premier League 2008–09]], winning a spot to the [[UEFA Europa League 2009–10|UEFA Europa League]] second qualifying round.

===Omonia===
