Club career
[edit]Feidon Argous
[edit]Giannakouli joined Feidon Argous, the first women's football team in her hometown, in 2012 when the club was founded.[5] In the 2015/16 season, she helped them get promoted to the Greek B Division after finishing on equal points with Kariatides Spartis who they later defeated in a decider match.[5]
In the 2016/17 season, Feidon finished second in Group 3 of the Greek B Division.[8] They competed against Agia Paraskevi in a playoff match for promotion to the Greek A Division. The game ended in a 1–1 draw and went into a penalty shoot-out. Giannakouli saved Agia Paraskevi's final penalty, while her teammate, Eirini Nefrou, scored and gave the win to Feidon.[9] In the Greek Women's Cup, Dimitra helped her team reach the final where they faced PAOK. She played the full 90 minutes as her team lost 7–0.[10]
In the 2017/18 season, Feidon finished in last place and got relegated back to the second division with only 1 win and 83 goals conceded.

In July 2022, she renewed her contract with Avantes for the following season, but, due to problems with the administration, she and the rest of the team left the club.[15]
