Malena Hantampaki, the 10-year-old daughter of Greek television personalities Stelios Hantampakis and Olga Piliaki, has signed a new contract with Atletico Madrid to remain in the Spanish football club's youth academy for the 2026-2027 season.
Under the official registration details for the upcoming campaign, the young player will compete for Atletico Madrid in the under-11 category. Her player card lists her primary positions on the pitch as a winger and forward, operating with a strong right foot.
The contract extension was officially announced through posts on Instagram, featuring videos and photographs captured during the signing ceremony. Malena signed her new academy contract in the presence of her mother, Olga Piliaki, and posed for pictures wearing the club's official team kit.
In a message published on her personal Instagram account, Malena stated that returning to play for the club felt wonderful and described Atletico Madrid as a beautiful family. She asked her followers whether the team's colors suited her, wished all girl players a great season filled with health, smiles, and memorable moments, and called on her team to enjoy the game.
Family Relocation to Spain
The Hantampakis family relocated to Spain in 2024 when their older son, Manolis, joined the youth academy of Getafe, a Spanish football club based in the Madrid metropolitan area. Shortly after her brother joined Getafe, Malena entered the youth development system at neighboring Atletico Madrid.
Her parents are widely recognized public figures in Greece. Stelios Hantampakis works as a model and television host who gained national fame appearing on high-profile Greek reality television programs including Survivor. Olga Piliaki is a former elite rhythmic gymnast who represented Greece internationally before pursuing a career in television.
The 10-year-old forward will now continue her athletic development in the Spanish capital as the 2026-2027 youth football season gets underway.
