About the program

Established in 2013, FC Malaga City Academy has quickly become renowned as one of the world's leading private, residential football academies, competing on a regular basis with some of the biggest clubs in Europe and Spain, enabling talented footballers from across the globe to experience the life of a full-time professional footballer here in Spain. From that success, our FCMC Femenino project was born.

Our program is designed to provide talented female players, who are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with a full-time soccer environment, high-quality coaching, a full 10 month European season and a memorable cultural experience. With this in mind FCMC is now home to some of the top unsigned female talents outside of the professional game. Due to the immediate success of our program, demand has grown tremendously and we are looking for talented driven individuals who maintain the ambition, work ethic and values of our club philosophy.

Off the pitch, our players can expect to become part of a family environment and be introduced to a new language, country and culture. The personal development of our players is something that maintains an equal focus as we look to help shape these talented young athletes into not only great players but well-rounded individuals also.

During my time at FCMC, the team had a saying known as "UBUNTU". This was an old African proverb that meant "I am because we are." This proved to be a reoccurring theme throughout my year in Spain. I grew not only as a player, but I developed as a person alongside some of the most amazing people I have ever met. I made memories that will be hard to top, friends that will last a lifetime, and an undeniable love for another country. Thanks to connections made at Malaga City, I was offered the opp
During my time at FCMC, the team had a saying known as "UBUNTU". This was an old African proverb that meant "I am because we are." This proved to be a reoccurring theme throughout my year in Spain. I grew not only as a player, but I developed as a person alongside some of the most amazing people I have ever met. I made memories that will be hard to top, friends that will last a lifetime, and an undeniable love for another country. Thanks to connections made at Malaga City, I was offered the opportunity to play in the first division in Greece. I made the move just two months after finishing my time at Malaga to play for AEL, a club rich in history and battling for a Champions League bid. I like to think that who I am today is because of what we were in Spain. This mentality, this lifestyle, and this opportunity should be experienced by everyone who has the chance. Ubuntu forever

A huge thank you to James Dawes and FC Malaga City for providing the stepping stone to get me playing in Europe and a big shout out to my coaching staff for helping me fall in love with the game again. And of course, thank you to my girls at FCMC Femenino. What a ride we went on and I feel so honored to have met and played with all the players in this team. The football journey now continues with a pro contract in Spain. Everyone's journey within their own individual sport is different and I

My experience at FC Malaga City was really incredible. I absolutely fell in love with Spain and my team and being able to continue my Soccer career whilst experiencing all of the other things that Spain had to offer was an absolutely dream.On the field my technical skills improved from all the rondos, drills and coaching that I received and off the field I learned how to speak Spanish, immersed myself into a new culture and made friendships that will last a lifetime. I learned so much on and off

I learned so much on and off the field. My time at FCMC really helped me prepare for the next level and I am now currently playing for a professional team in Serbia called ZFK Masinac Trace. Coming into a professional team environment was daunting but my playing level was at a similar level to the rest of the players and I felt very prepared. Playing for FC Malaga City was a perfect stepping stone for me that allowed me to get into the European professional world
