Stefanidis started his career at youth level at IF Brommapojkarna and has also represented the Greek team Iraklis. He got his senior level debut for Djurgårdens IF in 2001, and won the Swedish Allsvenskan championship with the club in 2002 and 2003.[1] In 2004, he moved abroad to play for Danish club Brøndby IF, with whom he won the 2005 Danish Superliga championship. He moved back to Sweden in 2005 in order to join Helsingborgs IF.[2]
On July 23, 2007, it was announced that Stefanidis had signed for Helsingborgs' rivals Malmö FF, a contract starting on January 1, 2008.[3] However, fans of Helsingborgs IF were greatly upset and subsequent harassment and personal persecution led to Stefanidis' changing clubs prematurely, on August 2, 2007. The disappointment came from the fact that Stefanidis refused to sign a new contract with Helsingborg and thereafter switched to the main rivals.[4]
On 27 July 2009, Stefanidis moved on loan from Malmö FF to Landskrona BoIS, in exchange for Ivo Pekalski who moved from Landskrona to Malmö.[5] In the Winter 2009, Stefanidis moved back to play for his childhood club IF Brommapojkarna.
