The Makati Football Club (MFC) was founded in 1976 by former Real Madrid player Tomas Lozano.^[1][2][3] The club has been sending numerous youth teams to the Gothia Cup in 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]
