Club career

Filip Sachpekidis of Greek descent was born in the summer of 1997 in the coastal town of Kalmar. At a young age he joined Lindsdals IF , not far from his hometown. At the club, whose men's team has historically been primarily active in the amateur field and which is best known for its women's team that played in Damallsvenskan in the 1990s , he was active in the youth department until 2011. His talent was quickly discovered in the club's large youth department and, thanks to a longstanding partnership between the two clubs, he quickly came to the nearest professional club, Kalmar FF . From then on, he was trained there in their junior teams, so in 2012 he was already in four games of the U-19 team with play in the U-19 Allsvenskan Södra . In the same year he finally made it into the U-17 national team of his home country, in which he was then used in a large number of international matches. The young midfielder finally celebrated his breakthrough at Kalmar FF in the following year 2013. In addition to nine championship appearances in which he scored one goal and prepared another in the U-19 team, just as many appearances in the U-21 team of the club followed with play in the U-21 Allsvenskan Södra .

Sachpekidis was just 15 years old when he made his U-21 league debut on March 12, 2013 in a 1-1 away draw against the U-21s of IFK Göteborg . Only about two months later he was on the substitute bench of the professional team for the first time in the Allsvenskan game against IFK Göteborg, but was not used. Again two months later he found himself on the bench of the professional team again, but could not record again. That changed when he - now 16 years old - was used by Nanne Bergstrand on August 3, 2013 in a 1-0 home win over Syrianska FC from the 86th minute of the game . In the game he was used in the left midfield position, replaced the Brazilian Ismael Silva Lima and scored his team's winning goal only a short time later in the 90th minute. With this goal he also became the youngest goalscorer in the history of Allsvenskan, as he was just 16 years and a month old at the time, setting the record set by Peter Vougt , who had been 16 years, three months and when he scored his first goal in 1990 Was twenty-four days old. After that, however, he was denied further assignments in the highest football league in the country; only in the final game of the season did he sit on the bench without a job.

Sachpekidis also made his debut in the Swedish Men's Football Cup this year when he played for over an hour in the second round match against third division Torslanda IK and was eliminated from the current competition with a defeat on penalties that round. With the Kalmar FF he reached the comfortable fourth place in the final ranking of Fotbollsallsvenskan 2013 ; In the last game, the team awarded third place in the table and the associated participation in qualifying for the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League .
