Marinos Tzionis (; born 16 July 2001) is a Cypriot professional footballer who plays as a winger or as an attacking midfielder for Liga I club UTA Arad and the Cyprus national team.
Career
Omonia On 26 September 2017, Tzionis signed his first contract as a professional footballer, joining Omonia.
Tzionis finished the 2017–18 season with just two appearances. However, in Summer 2018, the club underwent a change of ownership, and put a large emphasis on youth development. This resulted in Tzionis being given more opportunities the following season, which he took advantage of, scoring his first three goals for the club.
The 2020–21 season proved successful for player and team alike, as Tzionis helped Omonia win the Cypriot First Division for the first time in over a decade. He scored seven goals in the competition, many of which played a vital role in winning the league. In addition, he played his first continental games, including all six of Omonia's games in the 2020–21 Europa League group stage.
Tzionis scored his first goal in a European competition on 5 August 2021, in a 1–0 win over Flora Tallinn, in a Europa League qualifier.
Sporting Kansas City On 24 January 2022, MLS club Sporting Kansas City announced they had signed Tzionis on a three-year contract, for a reported fee of around €1.6 million.
FK Čukarički On 26 July 2024, Tzionis joined Serbian SuperLiga side FK Čukarički.
