## History

Makati F.C. players with Philippine president [Bongbong Marcos](/source/Bongbong_Marcos). April 2023.

The Makati Football Club (MFC) was founded in 1976 by former [Real Madrid](/source/Real_Madrid_CF) player Tomas Lozano.[1][2][3] The club has been sending numerous youth teams to the [Gothia Cup](/source/Gothia_Cup) in [Sweden](/source/Sweden) since 1983. MFC has sent both boys' and girls' sides.[3][4] MFC's best finish in the tournament was in 1985, where its boys under-11 team won their age-group's tournament. Other podium finishes were third place for the boy's under-12 in 1986, and another third-place finish for the boy's under-12 in 2016[5]

MFC entered a partnership with [Alaska Milk Corporation](/source/Alaska_Milk_Corporation) in 1996 which led to the establishment of the recurring Alaska Cup youth football tournament.[6]

In 2019, MFC's entered a partnership with [Philippines Football League](/source/Philippines_Football_League) club [Stallion Laguna](/source/Stallion_Laguna_F.C.) with its football academy merging with Stallion's for at least the 2019 season.[7]

The [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) disrupted the club's operation. The 2021 Gothia Cup, which MFC was due to participate for the 38th time, was cancelled. MFC's football academy also resorted to conducting its sporting programs online.[8][9]

MFC returned to competing in football competitions outside the Philippines since the start of the pandemic. Their return was marked by their participation in the 2022 edition of the JSSL Singapore Professional Academy 7s.[1][10] They clinched the overall title of the same tournament in 2023.[11]

In December 2023, the club announced that it would be expanding operations to [Cebu City](/source/Cebu_City).[12] Makati FC Cebu was established the following year.[13][14]

The girls team reinforced by imports won the 2025 [Ang Liga](/source/Ang_Liga) Filipina U19 title.[15][16]

Makati F.C. joined the [PFF Women's League](/source/PFF_Women's_League), the top-flight women's domestic league in the country starting the [2025 season](/source/2023_PFF_Women's_League) with a relatively young squad with Indonesian national team players.[17][18][19][20]
