HISTORY<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Early years (1968\u20131980)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Serbian White Eagles FC in 1970<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

According to the book Serbs in Ontario<\/em> published by the Serbian Heritage Academy in 1987, our club was established in 1963 in Hamilton, Ontario by Lazar Stojsic and a group of soccer fans. That year they were members of the Hamilton District League, but the next year they moved to Toronto where they would go on to join the National Soccer League. According to some sources, the club began play in the 1967 NSL season but the year 1968 is taken today as the official year of establishment and official club recognition. The original name of the club upon foundation was Serbia FC but it was soon changed to Serbian White Eagles FC. A great number of Serbs of the younger generation enthusiastically supported the foundation and development of the club. Money was donated in order to draft quality players and to establish a club office near their home of Stanley Park Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The club was well organized and special attention was given to obtain even better players and coaches. Prior to the 1973 season, the club moved to the CNE Stadium and imported nine players from Yugoslavia. The head coach was former FK BASK midfielder (and member of the Yugoslav national team) Mladen Saric. Tragedy struck the team on June 10, 1973 when 25-year-old forward Alexander Zivaljevic was killed in a car accident on the Queen Elizabeth Way in Toronto. The driver of the car, 24-year-old Niko Skrvic, was also killed when he lost control of the car. Injured in the crash were Eagles players Verko Mitrovic and Ljubo Dimic. 30-year-old Mitrovic suffered a crushed chest and was paralyzed from the waist down while 26-year-old Dimic suffered a fractured skull and a kidney injury. Deep sadness and a sense of great loss affected the entire team and its fans. It was very hard to recover but they made a special effort and dedicated their games to their lost comrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1974, club legend Momcilo “Mike” Stojanovic scored 54 goals in 36 matches which to this day remains a club and league record. The Serbian White Eagles finished first in the NSL Regular Season in 1974 under head coach Dragan “Don” Popovic. In the Open Canada Cup match (an annual tournament between the NSL champion and the Challenge Trophy champion determining the best team in Canada), the Serbian White Eagles defeated the Calgary Springer Kickers by a score of 3-1. As Canadian champions, the Serbian White Eagles qualified for the North American Championship where they were scheduled to play the NASL champion Los Angeles Aztecs. At the request of the NASL, Los Angeles surrendered the matches without playing. As a result, the Serbian White Eagles qualified directly for the North American Zone of the 1975 CONCACAF Champions’ Cup (becoming the first ever Canadian soccer club to enter a CONCACAF club competition) where they faced Mexican team CF Monterrey (who were led by the great Chilean coach Fernando Riera) in the first round. Led by the legendary Dragoslav Sekularac as player-coach, the Serbian White Eagles lost 2-0 at the Estadio Universitario in front of 18,000 people and in Toronto the match (with the result at 1-1 in the 67th minute) was suspended after a brawl on the pitch of CNE Stadium. The brawl began as a fight between Eagles player Dragi Denkovski and Monterrey player Gustavo Pe\u00f1a which then led to spectators rushing the field. Former Yugoslav national team player Miroslav Vardic (playing under the name Mike Wareika) scored the goal for our club. The club would also begin playing out of Lamport Stadium in 1975.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1976 CONCACAF Champions’ Cup, the Serbian White Eagles advanced to the second round of the North American Zone on a bye where they were set to face Le\u00f3n but withdrew. The 1976 season however was marked with problems for both the club and league and the interest of fans eventually began to diminish which caused great financial hardships. Attendance dropped drastically from ten to fifteen thousand fans to hundreds. In the summer of 1976, the White Eagles tried to improve their team by bringing over former Fulham and Republic of Ireland national team player John Dempsey from Chelsea and appointing him as player-coach but did not succeed in their effort to revive waning interest. The financial burden became too heavy to carry by the volunteer supporters. The league’s executive office proposed to the club to take the 1978 season off as a year’s leave from competition in the hope of recovering financially but this did not end up happening and, in 1981, the Serbian White Eagles withdrew from the NSL and became an amateur club in the process. What was left were records to be proud of and nice memories. The White Eagles introduced quality European-type soccer to Toronto, improved the standards to the level of professional soccer, and provided a lot of excitement. Fans would fondly remember games such as the 1973 friendly against Belenenses or the 1974 victory over Vardar Skopje and tour of Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other players who played for the Serbian White Eagles in that era are Saban Romanovic, Milovan “Mike” Bakic, Trifun Mihailovic, Dragan Jankovic, Lazar Erski, Svetozar Bosnjakovic, Blagoje Tamindzic, Dusan Stefanovic, Tibor Gemeri, Ivan Mrsic, Josip Ognjanac, Branko Bogdanovic, Nikola Ivetic, Micun Miladinovic, Nikola Sucevic, Mile Skoric, Miro Ristic, Milan Katic, Nebojsa Djokovic, Dragoljub “Charlie” Lazovic, Miodrag Pavicevic, John Fahy, Pedro Tavarez, Anders Yrfeldt, Tony Lawrence and David Demaine just to name a select few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were many Serbian supporters and generous donors who made the club possible and successful \u2013 too numerous to mention them all. We will however mention a number of very hard-working and active members of the club management in that time: founder Lazar Stojsic, Kosta “Ken” Stanojevich, Ratko “Ray” Dobrijevic, Gojko Paic, Ljubomir Bulatovich, Milos Jaukovic, Moma Borisavljevic, Pera Cvetkovic, Aca Markovic, Beca Rakocevic, Branko Zarubin, Stevica Kirilovic and Nikola Mitrovic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebirth and instant success (2006)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

They remained an amateur club until February 2006, when they joined the Canadian Soccer League, becoming one of the most successful expansion clubs in the league’s history. Prior to the start of the 2006 Canadian Soccer League season, it was announced that the legendary Dragoslav Sekularac would become head coach of the expansion side with first assistant being Stevan Mojsilovic. Other big names were brought in as well to help re-build the team. These included (among others): club legend Mike Bakic as president of the club, the director of player personnel was another club legend Mike Stojanovic, the general manager was Kosta “Ken” Stanojevich while the director of football was Nenad Stojkov. This was Sekularac’s second stint with the Serbian White Eagles having already played for and coached them in the past. With seasoned internationals being brought over from Serbia and the rest of Europe, the team was set. Also formed was an organized supporters group called the Ultra Serbs which would go on to follow the club both at home and away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roster assembled by Sekularac consisted of players with European experience such as Sasa Viciknez, Dusan Belic, Sinisa Ninkovic, Dragan Radovic, Nikola “Niki” Budalic, Bozo Milic, Uros Predic, Nenad Stojcic, Mirko Medic, Gabriel Pop as well as young local talents Alex Braletic, Milos Scepanovic, Goran Vlaski and Marc Jankovic. Sekularac’s stint, though short-lived, was not without success. The club was a hit in its first season, finishing first in the International Conference with 55 points and first overall (tallying both conferences). In the regular season, Sekularac guided the club to 17 wins, 1 loss and 4 ties with a whopping goal differential of 66:13. The team finished with the best offensive and defensive record. A formidable striking partnership consisting of Pop and Viciknez was formed with Pop finishing as the league’s top goalscorer followed by Viciknez as runner up. For their efforts Pop received the CSL Golden Boot, while Viciknez was named the CSL MVP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagles advanced to the knockout-stage, easily beating Toronto Supra Portuguese in the quarterfinals with a score of 3\u20130 and also easily defeating the Windsor Border Stars in the semifinal 6\u20131. Their fairy-tale season was brought to an end by the Italia Shooters in the CSL Championship final where Italia performed a miracle by scoring the lone goal to claim the championship. Though the Serbian White Eagles fell short they were embraced by the Serbian Canadian community and averaged the highest attendance of any team in the CSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

League powerhouse and championship (2007<\/a>\u20132008)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Some changes were made prior to the 2007 season with starting goalkeeper Dusan Belic promoted to player-coach while Dragan Bakoc (vice-president of the club in 2006) was made president. Continuing Serbian traditions, the club chose to have a slava<\/em>, eventually deciding on November 8 and Holy Great-Martyr Demetrius as patron saint. Belic was player-coach for a few months until he took up a scouting position in Slovenia. Belic was replaced in net by CSL veteran Arthur Zaslavski and by former Canadian under-17 international George Radan. Zaslavski and Radan rotated minutes but Radan got the notch when the playoffs started nearing. Then-assistant coach Sinisa Ninkovic (another 2006 alumnus) took up the head-coaching position but was replaced prior to the playoffs by Toronto Falcons coach Branko Pavlovic. Notable acquisitions were Uros Stamatovic, Osni Neto, Ricardo Mungu\u00eda P\u00e9rez, Zoran Kokot and Milan Kojic which proved to be key additions. In 2007, writer Prvoslav Vujcic wrote the anthem<\/a> of the Serbian White Eagles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the season, the Serbian White Eagles clinched their second consecutive division title, and once more averaged the highest attendance in the CSL. The club was well represented in the annual CSL All-Star game with four players (Medic, Scepanovic, Braletic and Viciknez) as well as head coach Ninkovic selected for Team International Conference. In the first round of the postseason they faced the Windsor Border Stars, where they advanced to the next round with Budalic, and Kokot providing the goals in a 2\u20131 victory. Their opponents in the next round were Trois-Rivi\u00e8res Attak, where Kokot and Dragorad Milicevic contributed the goals in their 2\u20131 win. The victory marked their second consecutive championship final appearance, where they faced their rivals Toronto Croatia. Due to their heated rivalry and without an adequate stadium available in order to separate the fans, the league was forced to change the format to a two-leg game rather than the standard knockout. In the two-game final, the Serbian White Eagles were defeated by Toronto Croatia by a score of 4\u20131 on aggregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the 2008 season, the club continued its tradition of bringing over experienced coaches from Serbia as this time Milan Cancarevic was made head coach. The club introduced a new logo as well, integrating a traditional shield and eagle with a maple leaf design reflecting the Canadian team\u2019s roots. Another notable event prior to the 2008 season was the formation of Serbian White Eagles fan clubs in the Serbian cities of Valjevo and Loznica. Notable imports were Caswain Mason, Darryl Gomez, Prince Ihekwoaba, Said Ali, and Diego Hernan Maradona (son of Lalo Maradona). The Serbian White Eagles qualified for the play-offs for the third straight season by finishing second in their division. In the preliminary round of the postseason they defeated the North York Astros by a score of 2\u20131. The Eagles then proceeded to beat the Italia Shooters in the semi-final by a relatively hefty score of 3\u20130 with goals coming from Budalic, Braletic, and Milos Scepanovic. In the final, the team used a 4-4-2 formation which finally gave them championship glory as they outlasted National Division champions Trois-Rivi\u00e8res Attak over a rain-drenched 120 minutes of extra time and penalty kicks to win the CSL championship 2\u20131 in the penalty shootout which was followed by a pitch invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consistent playoff contender (2009\u20132012)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the 2009 season, the club introduced a red jersey (blue was the secondary jersey in years previous), and hired the services of CSL Coach of the Year Rafael Carbajal with his assistant being Paolo Pacione.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 26, 2009, the Serbian White Eagles were chosen to play Toronto FC in a friendly match played behind closed doors at BMO Field. The match finished with a score of 1\u20131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 7, 2009 in a pre-game ceremony, the Serbian White Eagles retired the number 9 which was worn by Mike Stojanovic while playing for the club from 1974 to 1975. This is the only number the club has retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2009 roster assembled by Carbajal was a mixture of seasoned veterans (such as Adrian Tismenar who arrived from Sevojno) with several young prospects like Evan Milward, Selvin Lammie, and Jonathan Hurtis. Carbajal added more silverware to the club’s cabinet as they claimed their third International Division title, while posting the league’s best offensive record. Prior to the commencement of the postseason, Carbajal was released. His replacement was Dusan “Dusko” Prijic. In the initial stages of the playoffs the Eagles defeated TFC Academy 6\u20130 on aggregate. In the next round they defeated their rivals Toronto Croatia in order to have a repeat of the 2008 final against Trois-Rivi\u00e8res Attak. At the final game, playing a man short for most of the second half, Trois-Rivi\u00e8res took the game into overtime, then penalty kicks to win the CSL Championship at the BMO Field in Toronto on October 10, 2009. The game was scoreless through 90 minutes, then 30 minutes of overtime before Trois-Rivi\u00e8res outscored the Serbian White Eagles 3\u20132 in the penalty kick decider. At the conclusion of the season Viciknez received his second MVP award, while Medic won the Defender of the Year and Dan Pelc was named the Goalkeeper of the Year. Within their first four seasons, they became the second club in CSL history to reach the CSL Championship final in four consecutive seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former team captain Niki Budalic succeeded Prijic as head coach for the 2010 season. Notable additions were Milos Kocic (on loan from Toronto FC), Stefan Vukovic, Romanian forward Daniel Baston who came out of retirement to play for the club, and Taylor Lord. During the regular season, the team finished second in the standings with the best defensive record. In the first round of the postseason, the team \u2013 for the first time since its return to the league \u2013 failed to reach the championship final after suffering a defeat by the Brantford Galaxy. Though their senior team failed to claim any silverware their reserve team won the reserve championship title. Kocic was named the CSL Goalkeeper of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uros Stamatovic retired after the 2010 season and was appointed the assistant coach with Mirko Medic being player-coach. New players such as Boris Milicic were brought in. The 2011 season saw a decline in their performance as they finished fifth in the standings, but still managed to clinch a playoff berth. In the first round they defeated Brampton City United, but were eliminated in the second round against Capital City F.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the 2012 season, Stamatovic was elevated to the position of head coach. In 2012, the club once again brought in seasoned internationals such as Zoran Rajovic, Vitomir Jelic, Macedonian international Aleksandar Stojanovski, Nikola Miodrag, former Jamaican national team player Richard West, and former Partizan players Ivan Stankovic and goalkeeper Aleksandar Radosavljevic. Serbian White Eagles qualified for the postseason by finishing sixth in the standings. The Serbian White Eagles made a good push beating a solid SC Toronto squad 1\u20130 in the quarterfinals only to lose 4\u20130 against Toronto Croatia in the next round, marking the second year in a row they were ousted in the semifinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Serbian White Eagles qualified for the 2013 playoffs but fell short in the quarterfinal losing to Kingston FC by a score of 2\u20131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Serbian White Eagles qualified for the 2014 playoffs but once again fell short in the quarterfinal to Kingston. Sahjah Reid led the club in scoring that year with eight goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, the Serbian White Eagles signed former Partizan players Radenko Kamberovic and Bojan Sljivancanin as well as Marko Krasic who arrived from FK Indjija. In that season, the club once again experienced glory as they won the regular season title. In the play-off quarterfinal, they beat London City 1\u20130 with a goal from Branislav Vukomanovic, but their pursuit of the championship ended after a 3\u20132 loss to Waterloo in the semifinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former team captain Mirko Medic was assigned the head coach position for the 2016 season. He secured them their eleventh straight playoff berth by finishing fourth in the standings. Their road to the championship was marked with a 1\u20130 victory over Toronto Atomic FC with Milos Scepanovic recording the lone goal. In the second round they defeated FC Ukraine United 1\u20130 to mark their sixth championship final appearance. Their opponents in the final were Hamilton City SC. During the match, Hamilton took the lead at the 14th minute with the Serbian White Eagles equalizing via a Luka Bojic goal at the 59th minute to send the match to extra time where Scepanovic scored the winner to claim the club’s second CSL championship title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, new head coach Milan Mijailovic was brought in as the club finished second in the regular season but was eliminated in the semifinals by the York Region Shooters. In 2018, the club qualified for the playoffs but was unfortunately eliminated in the quarterfinals. In 2017 and 2018, the club had a futsal team in the Arena Premier League under the name Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, key additions were Marko Stajic, Vladimir Strizovic and Bozidar Tadic. The club reached the quarterfinals but were eliminated by SC Waterloo Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 2020, the club signed a cooperation agreement with FK Sloboda Uzice. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed the opening of the 2020 season resulting in the league ultimately releasing a modified shortened schedule which began in early August. A playoff berth was secured by the Serbian White Eagles, which marked their fifteenth consecutive season of clinching a playoff berth since their return to the professional scene in 2006. The Serbian White Eagles produced the best offensive record in the regular season but was eliminated in the first round of the championship playoffs to FC Vorkuta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2021 season, the Serbian White Eagles finished fifth in the standings with a single-point difference between BGH City. As BGH City was considered ineligible to compete in the ProSound Cup, their playoff berth was given to the Serbian White Eagles who were again defeated in the opening round by Vorkuta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, the club claimed the regular season title once again and would advance to the semi-finals where they were eliminated by FC Continentals (formerly known as Vorkuta).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renowned double bass player Aleksandar Miljkovic composed the official music<\/a> of our club in August 2023. Serbian White Eagles FC finished out the 2023 season in second place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serbian White Eagles had a very successful year in 2024 winning the Royal CSL Cup, the Regular Season title and being awarded playoff champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serbian White Eagles won the Royal CSL Cup once more in 2025 and reached the championship final where they narrowly fell short at the hands of rival Scarborough SC.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
