Club career

Western Suburbs

Born in Wellington, Stamenic attended St Patrick's college, Silverstream, Wellington.[2] and came through the ranks of the Olé Football Academy.[3] During this time, Stamenic played for Olé-affiliated club Western Suburbs in the Central Premier League, making his debut in 2017 and reaching the final of the 2018 Chatham Cup.[3]

Team Wellington

Following Olé's affiliation with ISPS Handa Premiership side Team Wellington, Stamenic signed for them on 2 October 2019.[3] He made seven league appearances, scoring one goal on 15 December 2019 against Southern United.[4]

FC Copenhagen

Following his standout performances for New Zealand in the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup, Stamenic was invited for a three-week trial at Danish Superliga side FC Copenhagen in March 2020. However, following an order from the New Zealand Government for all foreign-based New Zealand citizens to urgently return to the country in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, he was forced to abort the trial.[3] FC Copenhagen retained their interest, and Stamenic eventually returned to Denmark, signing for the club's under-19 team on 1 September 2020.[2]

Stamenic made his debut for the first team on 23 November 2020, starting in a 2–1 Superliga loss to Randers FC.[5]

International career

U-17

Stamenic made his first appearance for the New Zealand U-17 team coming off the bench in their 0–5 loss to the Solomon Islands at the 2018 OFC U-16 Championship.[6] He then followed that up starting in New Zealand's next matches against Papua New Guinea in the last pool game,[7] Tahiti in the semi-finals[8] and in the final which saw a rematch against the Solomon Islands that New Zealand won 5–4 on penalties.[9]

Stamenic played all three games for New Zealand in their 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup campaign, finishing third in their group.[1]

Senior national team

Stamenic made his international debut with the senior New Zealand national team in a 2–1 friendly win over Curaçao on 9 October 2021.[10]

Born in New Zealand, Stamenic is of Serbian and Samoan descent.[11]
