Tobias Warschewski (born 6 February 1998) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for Canadian Premier League side Cavalry FC.

Club career

Warschewski played for Preußen Münster in the 2016–17, 2017–18, and 2018–19 seasons where he scored five goals in 46 3. Liga appearances.[1]

On 21 July 2020, Warschewski signed with Regionalliga Nord side Phönix Lübeck.[2] On 23 September 2020, he made his debut as a 73rd-minute substitute and scored his first goal for the club in a 3–0 win over Heider SV.[3] He went on to make another four appearances for Phönix that season, for a total of one goal in five appearances.[4]

On 19 February 2021, Warschewski signed a one-year contract with Canadian Premier League side FC Edmonton.[5] He scored his first goal for Edmonton on 31 July against Valour FC, netting the second goal in a 3–1 victory.[6] Warschewski was one of the few bright spots in a disappointing season for FC Edmonton, as he finished the season with the most assists in the league, with 7, even as Edmonton finished in seventh place.[7] On 9 February 2022, the club announced that Warschewski and all but two other players would not be returning for the 2022 season.[8]

In February 2022, Warschewski signed a one-year deal with an optional extension with York United, and was then immediately loaned back to FC Edmonton.[9] 2022 was expected to be a difficult season for Edmonton, with financial issues drastically affecting the club.[10] In their first match of the 2022 season, he scored a bicycle kick in the final seconds to ensure a 1–1 draw against Valour FC.[11] In December 2022, York announced Warschewski would be departing the club.[12]

On January 16, 2024, he joined fellow Canadian Premier League club Cavalry FC on a free transfer, signing a one-year contract with an option for two more seasons.[13][14] At the end of the 2024 season, Warschewski scored five goals in Cavalry's final goal games to win the CPL Golden Boot.[15][16] On 10 November, he scored a goal and was awarded the CPL Final MVP award in a 2–1 victory over Forge FC in the 2024 CPL final, helping the club win their first league title.[17]

International career

In March 2017, Warschewski played for Germany's U-19 team in UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifying, making his debut as a substitute against Cyprus.[4] He was subsequently called up for the final tournament that July, where he made a substitute appearance against the Netherlands and then appeared as a substitute again against England, scoring a consolation goal in a 4–1 loss.[4]
