Youth
Born and raised in the Cypriot town of Paralimni, Konstantinos Laifis played youth football at Enosis Neon Paralimni. Later, at the age of 16, he joined the Nottingham Forest F.C. football youth academy. There, he became a regular starter for the under 18 squad.
Anorthosis Famagusta (2012-2016)
In late 2011, Laifis returned to Cyprus, where he signed with Anorthosis Famagusta FC of the Cypriot First Division (top-tier of Cyprus football).
He played his first game for the club in the 2011–12 Cypriot Cup when he came on as a substitute against APOP Kinyras.
In his time with the club, Laifis made a total of 63 CFD appearances for them and scored 8 goals.
Standard Liège (2016-now)
In June 2016, Laifis was signed by legendary Greek club Olympiacos who immediately loaned him to Standard Liège of the Belgian First Division A for two years with a purchase option.
After Laifis played 68 matches for the club, Standard Liège purchased the footballer from Olympiacos for a transfer fee of €1,500,000.
In 2018, Laifis helped Standard Liège win the Belgian Cup.
Laifis made a total of 34 appearances for the Cypriot national team and scored 3 goals.
