- For the Serbian paramilitary group named White Eagles, see White Eagles (paramilitary) or White Eagles (anticommunist).
Serbian White Eagles (Serbian Cyrillic: Српски Бели Орлови) are a Canadian soccer team, founded in 2006. The team is a member of the Canadian Soccer League, the highest professional soccer league in Canada, and plays in the International Division.
The team's home colours are all white, commemorating the white double-headed eagle which appears on the Serbian flag. The White Eagles play their home games at Centennial Park in Etobicoke, Ontario, a suburb of the city of Toronto, Ontario.
The White Eagles were the strongest club in their inaugural season in the Canadian Soccer League, regularly beating rivals by 3 goals or more. However, they lost to the Italia Shooters in the playoff final.
[edit] History
The Serbian White Eagles were established in 1970 as an amateur team in the then: Canadian National Soccer League, where they played until 1980, winning the League in 1974. In 1980, the White Eagles withdrew from the League and remained an amateur club until February 2006, when they became the most successful expansion club in League history. The White Eagles were accepted with jubilation by the North American Serbian community and averaged the highest attendance of any Canadian soccer club.
The White Eagles' fan association, known as Ultra Serbs, was formed in 2006, a few months after the White Eagles became a professional team. The distinguished name of the Ultra Serbs has made it clear from the start that they are representing the Ultras mentality in support of their club. The Ultra Serbs appear in several highly rated videos on Youtube. These videos are largely followed by Serbian soccer fans including Serbs as far as Serbia and throughout the worldwide Serbian diaspora.
