Los Malakas, otherwise known as Malakas, is a sydney based team. They were founded in early september 2014 by a group of friends who were eager to get the team up and running. The owner and club captain Nelson Sanchez co-founded the team with friends Brian Flores and Paulo Castro, and soon after more players joined the team as the numbers climbed. Their first official game took place on 21/9/2014, In a match against chester brown's then team The Underdogs, despite a slow start and uncertainty at times Los Malakas eventually prevailed in a hard fought 4-1 win, with goals from : Nelson Sanchez, Brian Flores, Jesus Flores and Jung Wook Son. Following this victory the team continued to train on a regular basis and soon after claimed their second win, in a 2-0 victory against waheed choudhury's Sydney Blues FC. In a game described by many as a "walkover win" they soon after signed more players and began building toward their next match, a re-match against Sydney Blues FC. This time round with a bigger roster of players and a real desire to win their 3rd straight game they proved their metal with a dismantling of their opponents in a 5-2 win, Brian Flores with 4 goals and Nelson Sanchez chipping in with one to seal the win and the clear bragging rights. Since that match the team have joined a mixed soccer league competition which started on 14/1/2015 and after a 3-2 win from their first game they are looking to continue their winning streak with important games coming up.

Signings
Since the inception of the team last year, the team have brought in many players here's the list of signings so far :

Chester Brown, following a defeat for his team in the first game and missing out on the second game due to other commitments. His previous team The Underdogs went behind his back to change their captain and team name. Not happy with that decision and the lack of commitment from those players, chester decided to approach Los Malakas and enquire about potentially joining their team, and shortly after a decision was made by captain Nelson Sanchez to sign Chester Brown on a permanent basis. Despite being called a "glory hunter" for joining the team, chester has stated on numerous occasions that the reason he joined was because it actually felt like a team.

Raisa Rosas & Rocio Rosas, Upon joining the mixed soccer league the team needed to obtain some female players and the first two to join were raisa and her sister rocio. Clear improvements from the 2 since joining have made the competition for spots in the starting line-up a real challenge.

Max Brown, Arguably the best signing so far having played and scored against the team previously and his all round ability. following the demoralising 5-2 defeat, waheed choudhury stepped down as captain of Sydney Blues FC and quit the team, giving max brown the opportunity to captain the team. However upon participating in some of the malakas training sessions shortly after to help keep himself fit, the team were impressed with his performances and decided to sign him on loan at first but the deal is looking likely to become permanent.

Nadine Zellerhoff, Kari Dickson, Isabella Scott, With the female contingent in doubt only a week or so before the mixed soccer league began, the team were searching desperately around for more female players so they could participate in the tournament. But only a few days before it began and 3 female players agreed to join taking the total number of girls up to 5 and a huge relief for the team. With vast amounts of passion and energy from these 3 already being shown, the team are extremely glad and happy that they all decided to join and the malakas expect a few surprises from them on the pitch.
