Ardizoglou was born in Jerusalem, where his family had found refuge after the Asia Minor disaster, from a Greek father and an Israeli mother.

The 5-year-old Christos found himself growing up with his five siblings in the slums of Nea Ionia, trying to mentally escape from the harsh financial poverty of everyday life in the most common way of the time.

The neighborhood scouts of the time were soon impressed by the skills of the young Ardizoglou, resulting in his move to the neighboring Rizoupoli and Apollon Athens.

[8] Ardizoglou is now retired from the Greek Police, in which he joined in the context of the search for a stable job in the State, as was customary for athletes of his time.
