WHO WE ARE

MFS was formed in 2007 after a group of parents suggested it would be great for young footballers to experience life as a professional footballer in Europe. Years later and the concept has evolved considerably since the first tour in 2008. The pioneer group in 2008 set the benchmark and were instrumental in setting the foundation for making the MFS brand strong in Europe today. Subsequent squads have lived the values of MFS where Respect, Passion, Discipline, Commitment, Belief and Teamwork are demonstrated in all behaviours. The aim of our tours are simple – we strive to provide young players with an insight in to the world of professional football that will provide them with life experiences that will long live in their memories.
