History
Founded as part of the Beekman Soccer Club, they operated as a team of the club - BSC Wolves, before launching separately, under their new name (FC Málaga City New York) in 2019.[1][2]
The club was affiliated with the FC Málaga City Academy of Spain. Every year, FC Málaga City New York would send its entire academy to Spain to train and compete for three months, and the club's coaches come from their Spanish parent club and all hold UEFA certifications.[3] The team was affiliated with Pathfinder Academy, with its players attending the school.[4]
In August 2021, the club cut ties with its Spanish affiliate amid concerns over playing opportunities for their players and re-branded as Pathfinder FC.[5][6]
