Footballer who had brief glimpses of a professional career but has spent the majority of his career to date in the lower tiers of Cypriot football. I was surprised to find some coverage of him but, upon further analysis, none of it seems to actually meet requirements. See WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.

Google News has zero hits, which is a bad sign. I found a passing mention in Kerkida (translated) and also some coverage in 24sports and Sport FM. Both of these articles are copied and pasted from a press release from the club that Koumasis has signed for, so cannot possibly count towards notability. SPORTBASIC says [sources] that are pure derivatives of an original source can be used as references, but do not contribute toward establishing the notability of a subject. Famagusta News talks about a Motocross president of the same name but there is no evidence to suggest that these two people are the same. The footballing Koumasis would have been 25 when this article was written and was still playing in the lower tiers of the Cyprus football league system. This 'Zannetos Koumasi' is clearly a different person altogether. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:06, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
