History
The Makati Football Club (MFC) was founded in 1976 by former Real Madrid player Tomas Lozano. The club has been sending numerous youth teams to the Gothia Cup in Sweden since 1983. MFC has sent both boys' and girls' sides. 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

MFC entered a partnership with Alaska Milk Corporation in 1996 which led to the establishment of the recurring Alaska Cup youth football tournament.

In 2019, MFC's entered a partnership with Philippines Football League club Stallion Laguna with its football academy merging with Stallion's for at least the 2019 season.

The 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.

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. They clinched the overall title of the same tournament in 2023.

In December 2023, the club announced that it would be expanding operations to Cebu City.
