Source-derived summary

Spase Dilevski (Macedonian: Спасе Дилевски; born 13 May 1985) is an Australian former professional soccer player who played as a centre-back, right-back and defensive midfielder.

Club career

Dilevski started his career as a junior for Victorian lower league team Sydenham Park where he was coached by Tony Ivanov and eventually played in their seniors at a very young age. It was club policy to promote talent into the senior team that was adopted by Bill Dimovski. After showing obvious talent and out-classing others many years his senior, the Victorian Institute of Sport recruited him.

Dilevski was recruited by European clubs Tottenham Hotspur and PSV Eindhoven early in his career. After Tottenham offered him an extension on his contract, he chose to move out of England in order to get some first team experience in Australia. Dilevski joined Melbourne Victory for the duration of their participation in the 2005 Australian Club World Championship Qualifying Tournament, ultimately just the one game where they were knocked out of the tournament by Adelaide United. After a stint with Queensland Roar in Australia, he moved to Romania where he struggled for game time. In 2008, the new manager of Craiova decided to use him as a defensive midfielder, and Dilevski played well in the new position.

He returned to the A-League in March 2011 and was signed on a one-year deal with Adelaide United.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as australian soccer player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2054228. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1985, 2005, 2008 and 2011.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
