Babis Stefanidis

Charalambos "Babis" Stefanidis (born 8 March, 1981) is a Swedish football player of Greek heritage, who is currently representing Malmö FF. Prior to joining MFF, he played for their rivals, Helsingborgs IF. Before that he represented Danish giants Brøndby IF and he has won the Allsvenskan championship twice with Djurgårdens IF. He started his career at IF Brommapojkarna and has also represented the Greek team Iraklis. Stefanidis is an offensive midfielder, who normally plays on the right wing.

On July 23 2007, it was announced that Stefanidis had signed for Malmö FF, a contract starting on January 1, 2008. However, fans of Helsingborg were greatly upset and harassments and personal persecutions led to Stefanidis' changing clubs already on August 2nd, 2007. The disappointment came from the fact that Stefanidis refused to sign a new contract with Helsingborg and thereafter switched to the main rivals.
