Iván "John" Borodiak (born 1940) was an Argentine-American soccer full back who played for Argentina, the American Soccer League and the North American Soccer League. He also earned one cap with the U.S. national team.
Professional
Borodiak was born in Argentina of Ukrainian descent, and started his career in the Argentine league, playing for Talleres de Remedios de Escalada, and later for Almagro. In early 1960, the Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals of the American Soccer League (ASL) signed Borodiak to bolster the squad for an upcoming National Challenge Cup series. The move paid off and the Ukes won the 1960, 1961, 1963 and 1967 National Challenge Cups. In 1967, he played for the Newark Ukrainian Sitch and Philadelphia Spartans. In 1968, Borodiak signed with the Cleveland Stokers of the North American Soccer League.[1] The next year, he transferred to the Baltimore Bays. That season, he was a first team NASL All Star.[2]
National team
Borodiak earned one cap with the U.S. national team in a 10-0 loss to England on May 27, 1964.[3]
