Mateja Djordjevic

Austin FC signed defender Mateja Djordjevic via a transfer from FK TSC Bačka Topola in Serbia on July 2025. Djordjevic, 22, joins the Verde & Black on a deal guaranteed through the end of the 2028 season with an option for 2029.

Djordjevic will occupy a U22 Initiative roster slot, meaning his salary will count against the Club’s salary budget cap at a reduced rate.

Djordjevic came through the youth ranks of the famed FK Partizan Belgrade in his native Serbia before joining Vozdovac, where he made his senior debut at age 19. In a season-and-a-half with Vozdovac, he made 28 appearances across all competitions including 18 in the Serbian first division.

His performances with Vozdovac earned him a move to FK TSC prior to the start of the 2023/2024 season. FK TSC finished in third place in the Serbian Super Liga in Djordjevic’s first year there while the team kept the league’s second-best defensive record.

Across two (2) seasons with FK TSC, Djordjevic made 51 total appearances including two (2) UEFA Champions League qualifying matches, two (2) UEFA Europa League matches, and seven (7) UEFA Conference League matches.

As a youth international, Djordjevic has made 15 appearances for Serbia, most recently competing at the U21 level.

In addition to a U22 Initiative slot, Djordjevic occupies senior and international designations on the Austin FC roster.
