Our Mission

Our story starts in 2001 when our beloved and now retired coach Branko Pavlovic opened up his own academy - Falcons Mississauga, where he trained youth teams for 4 years. In 2005, B. Pavlovic wanted his players to play for the Toronto Soccer Association (TSA)'s league, which meant having his players play against Toronto's best. And for that, he needed to be a registered soccer club. Thus, he requested and received permission from the board of directors of the known Serbian White Eagles FC (at the time an amateur club) to use their name. In 2005, our club was formed and registered as a member of the TSA under the name Serbian White Eagles FC (at times referenced as " Toronto Serbian White Eagles" or "SWE Toronto").   

From 2005 to 2018, B. Pavlovic solely led his youth club and head coached his youth teams. In 2006, he also held a head coach position with the Canadian Soccer League (CSL) registered team under the same name "Serbian White Eagles". One might wonder why there were two separate organizations with the same name? It turns out that both organizations asked the original Serbian White Eagles FC's board of directors for approval to use their club's name to be able to register for their respective leagues. B. Pavlovic was first to ask the board, subsequently forming a soccer club and registering with the TSA as their member in 2005. The president of the adult team, Mike Bakic, was second to ask the same board for use of the name subsequently incorporating a for-profit Serbian White Eagles Inc. and registering for the CSL (known as the private league) in 2006. The original board of the Serbian White Eagles FC (amateur club) separated and its players joined either the youth soccer club and/or the adult private league team; both of which continued to operate in segregation.  

In 2018, B. Pavlovic decided to retire and pass the club's responsibilities to the person he trusted most, his right-hand and assistant coach, Milos Vucinic.  M. Vucinic heavily relied on the guidance of the TSA team to ensure the club met all of TSA member requirements and most importantly, followed all of Ontario Soccer rules and regulations. M. Vucinic knew he needed someone who is experienced in launching and managing businesses to help him transform the club's operations and brand; appointing Anja Vukovic as the club's President. In 2020,  A. Vukovic played a major role in club's transformation, working with TSA and past board members of the Serbian White Eagles FC (amateur club) on many of club's structural and legal changes. She continues to lead club's operations and represents the club at TSA and OSA club calls and board meetings. 

Why the change? 

Our club members, supporters, and players wanted more.  We formed our new club constitution with the intent to expand our love for soccer to more Canadians, develop new operational strategies, upgrade our training programs, and use technology to our advantage to promote, empower, and manage administrative efforts. You can call us an experienced club with a power boost.  

Hard work, perseverance, and love for the game has kept our club alive. Our vision, mission, and values will sustain our existence and the hope to be a small contributor to the quality and caliber of the world's greatest soccer players.
