Our mission
The mission of EFC (EMZEE FOOTBALL CLUB) is to provide all soccer players aged 10 to 24 with the opportunity to learn, develop high levels of physical and technical ability and compete at the highest level in an environment that balances fun with a work ethic that encourages players to do their best.
Our vision
The vision of EFC (EMZEE FOOTBALL CLUB) is to have the best football academy in Malaysia recognized for excellence in player and coach development programs, sportsmanship and competition for players of all genders, abilities and ages.
Our philosophy
We take a 'player-centric' approach, providing more individualized expert coaching and guidance, allowing each player to learn and grow at their own pace over the long term. We want our players to be entertained as individuals, we want to entertain parents and coaches through games, and we want to entertain our opponents too! Win or lose, it's no coincidence that we still receive comments from opposing coaches and parents praising our team's performance. "Winning football doesn't always mean entertaining football, and entertaining doesn't always mean winning football."
Our style of play
Our style of play – a result of the freedom that allows individuals and teams to train and be creative as a group – is highly attacking and possession oriented. We play fast transition football where the goalkeeper plays from behind being the twelfth (12) player on the field.
