Sergio Camargo, one of the original signings for the Canadian Premier League, celebrates his 100th appearance for Cavalry FC. He reflects on his journey and expresses his pride in reaching this milestone.
Sergio Camargo , one of 10 original signings for the Canadian Premier League in November 2018, marks his 100th appearance for Cavalry FC on Saturday when the Calgary-based team kicks off its sixth season at Forge FC in a rematch of last year's championship game.
"I've definitely found a home," he said."As a soccer player, especially as a Canadian soccer player growing up in my time, you had to make a lot of sacrifices on where you're going to live … There wasn't a pathway in Canada when I was growing up." "I don't want to say I was in a dark place but I was starting to realize that my career might be over," he said.
In 2012, as a TFC academy player, he saw action off the bench for the first team against England's Liverpool in a friendly before 33,087 at Rogers Centre. "A homegrown but not really feeling at home there because my parents had moved away already at that time and I was living downtown by myself," he recalled.
