Club career

Early career

Kasmeridis was born in

OFI Crete in 2002 at the age of 15.[3] He played for the club's amateur team until 2006, when he signed his first professional contract.[3] With OFI Amateurs, he won the 2004 Heraklion Football Clubs Association Cup against PANOM.[2]

During his whole spell at OFI Crete, Kasmeridis was always a backup goalkeeper behind other goalkeeping talents produced by the club, such as

Sifis Daskalakis.[3] Even during the later years, goalkeepers from Panathinaikos (Arkadiusz Malarz and Alexandros Tzorvas) or abroad (Tristan Peersman) were preferred, so he earned little playing time.[3]

OFI Crete

Kasmeridis made his

2008–09 season,[5] which saw the club ending in 14th place and being relegated from the first division for the first time since 1976.[6]

The

Pierikos[7] because Vezyridis was banned from the match.[8] OFI eventually missed promotion at the final fixture, so they stayed in the second division.[9]

Kasmeridis was still a backup for OFI in the

Superleague after 2 years.[12] However, Kasmeridis did not fit the plans of his manager, Nikos Anastopoulos, for the following season and was asked to look for a new club.[13]

Thrasyvoulos

On 10 September 2011, a day after his OFI contract was terminated, Kasmeridis signed a one-year contract with

Kasmeridis blocked two penalties in the 4–2

Levadiakos

On 12 June 2012, Kasmeridis signed a two-year contract for

2012–13 Superleague – as a result, he terminated his contract one year early in May 2013 and were released from the club.[20]

International career

Kasmeridis was called up to the

Yugoslavia on 8 March.[21]

Greece under-19

On 28 August 2004, Kasmeridis, still a player of OFI Amateurs at the time, was called for the first time to the

2005 UEFA European U19 Championship finals

Kasmeridis was a member of

Serbia and Montenegro, a game which Kasmeridis watched from the bench as Dimitrios Sotiriou took his place in the starting lineup.[28]

Greece under-21

On 16 October 2006, Kasmeridis made his debut for the

Ethnikos Asteras as a second-half substitute for Leonidas Panagopoulos.[29] He went on to make 6 appearances in 2007, with Panagopoulos and Kasmeridis swapping places in the starting lineup,[30] and 2 appearances in 2008, all of which as a starter.[31]
