Coach and Owner

Early Years

Marko Stambolija began his soccer journey in Toronto at the age of 11 and joined the Serbian White Eagles at 14, progressing through their youth system to the U21 team. With over 30 years of club soccer experience, he has developed a deep understanding of the game.

Coaching Career

Marko started his coaching career in 2021 with Beaumont Soccer Association as an assistant coach, where he helped teams win several titles. In 2023-2024, he became the U15 head coach, and during his tenure, he proudly saw many of his players advance to play at the club level.

"What I've learned from years of playing and coaching soccer is that with commitment, anything is possible. No skill is too advanced to learn; it just requires effort and practice. At Southside, we instill these values in our players to carry with them not only on the field but in life."
