The footballer was born on 7 January 2010 in the village of Cărpineni in the Hîncești district of Moldova. When Ștefan was six years old, his family moved to Greece.

Colța began playing football at the age of seven at the Panellinios academy. Three years later, he moved to the Olympiacos football academy, where he continued his training.

Signing a professional contract marked a new stage in the career of the young defender, who represents Moldova at youth level.

Olympiacos is considered Greece’s most successful club. By 2025, the team had won the national league title 48 times and the Greek Cup 29 times. In 2024, the club achieved historic success on the international stage by winning the UEFA Conference League. In the final, Olympiacos beat Italian side Fiorentina 1–0. This trophy made the Piraeus-based club the first Greek side to win a major European club competition.

Olympiacos is renowned for its extensive youth development programme. According to the club itself, its academy and network of football schools cater for thousands of children in Greece and beyond. The youth team’s victory in the UEFA Youth League in 2024 was one of the clearest demonstrations of the calibre of this programme.
