Makarov began his professional beach soccer team in the FC Strogino club. For a short period he played for FC Delta Saratov in 2010, but then switched to Lokomotive Moscow where he has been playing since 2010. His first coach was Aleksey Grishin. Makarov debuted for the national team in the qualifying rounds of the 2007 Euro Beach Soccer League.[1]
Makarov played for Lokomotive from 2010 to 2018. He switched to Spartak Moscow in 2018.[2] On his debut game within the new club at the Moscow Indoor Championships on 4 March 2018 Makarov also shot his first goal against Strogino.[3]
When graduating at the Children's and Youth Sports School "Strogino", Makarov had the options to either start a sports career, or enter a university, choosing the latter. He enrolled in a university and graduated with a degree of "civil structural engineer" after defending his diploma with excellence.[4]
