Delilah Cvetkoski is an Australian junior goalkeeper, born February 2016, keeping goal for White City Soccer Club in the Southern Districts Soccer Football Association. She has played Division 1 every season since U9. In 2026 she played both U11 and U13 Division 1. In 2027 she plays U12.
White City's U13 Division 1 girls borrowed Delilah in 2026 and she kept goal for them to the quarter finals, with several penalty saves along the way. She was ten, against players up to three years older and much bigger.
It was not her regular team. Registering her in that age group needed district approval as well as parental consent.
Delilah has faced seven penalty shootouts in her career and won six. Three of those wins came in the same pre-season run, in the quarter final, the semi final and the grand final.
The shootouts listed are the ones on record with the club. She has made many more penalty saves in open play across every age group she has played.
Delilah wears a custom sponsor uniform to and from every game and every training session. Your name goes on it, and on this website.
See the packagesAt two grand finals in a row, Delilah did not run to her own team when the whistle went.
She went to the goalkeeper she had just beaten and hugged her. Then she went to the other players who were crying. She celebrated with her own team after that.
She does the same in shootouts. Between kicks she has talked opposition keepers through what to look for.
Nobody taught her to do this. She is widely recognised for it.
Every season she has been registered, and where it led.
Junior club football uses smaller fields and smaller goals. The school cups do not. Delilah has kept goal on a full field between full-size posts, where she cannot reach the top corners and has to rely on her positioning instead.
Delilah has trained three terms of specialist goalkeeper coaching with Nenad Vekic.
Vekic is a goalkeeper. He was named in Sydney FC's National Youth League squad in 2009/10 and has spent his career since in the National Premier Leagues NSW, with Blacktown City, five seasons at Marconi Stallions, Wollongong Wolves, Sutherland Sharks and South Coast Flame.
He joined Macarthur Bulls FC for the 2026/27 pre-season.
Delilah's team plays in the SPL summer competition, where the top JDL sides beat the rest of the field by heavy margins. That makes goal difference the thing deciding most of the table.
Her team does not win every week. What they do is keep the scorelines tight, and that is what holds their position.
