Sergio Camargo was born in Cúcuta, Colombia in 1964, and raised in Newmarket, Ontario. Moving to Canada as a child, he grew up playing in Unionville-Milliken SC before entering Toronto FC Academy at age 15. His creative playmaking quickly turned heads, earning CSL Division II MVP and Rookie of the Year honours in 2010 as a teenager.
Sergio honed his skills collegiately with Coastal Carolina University (2013–15), where he recorded 19 goals and 15 assists in 58 games, and later Syracuse University (2016), helping the Orange to a strong NCAA Tournament run. Along the way, he earned All-Big South and ACC weekly honours, confirming his status among Canada’s top collegiate talents.
He captained K-W United to the 2015 PDL Championship, then added another amateur title with Calgary Foothills in 2018. His performances earned him a Homegrown Player contract with Toronto FC in January 2017. While he featured primarily for TFC II in the USL that season, the experience embedded him in an MLS environment and exposed him to professional expectations.
In late 2018, Cavalry FC made Sergio one of its first signings. From the CPL’s inaugural 2019 campaign onward, he became the club’s creative heartbeat. That debut season, Cavalry captured both the Spring and Fall regular-season titles, and Sergio delivered crucial goals and assists in playoff runs and Canadian Championship upsets.
In 2024, after years of near misses, Sergio finally helped Cavalry lift the North Star Cup. In the CPL Final, he struck a driven shot across goal to put Cavalry ahead 2–0 over Forge FC—later recalling, “We’ve been waiting for this for a long time.” His goal was later voted among the league’s “Top Moments of the Year,” cementing his place in club history. Coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. praised his squad’s resolve that day: “There’s a great resilience in these lads; they refuse to lose”—words that echoed Sergio’s influence on and off the pitch.
Sergio has also worn Canadian colours at youth level, representing Canada U-17 at the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup and later appearing for Canada U-20. Though a senior cap has eluded him so far, his continued performances keep him in national conversations.
From academy MVP to MLS draftee, PDL champion, and CPL champion, Sergio Camargo’s journey reflects the evolution of Canadian professional soccer itself—growing, improving, and proving itself on ever bigger stages.
