President, MTFA

MTFA is running on the modern scientific lines and made progress on the strong footings within the shortest span of three years, and earned reputation as one of the biggest Academies in World and their news used to appear in several the websites of around the globe.

Model Town Football Club was launched in 1985 while Academy started functioning in 2005. It registered only 25 youths in starting year, hit three-figure mark in 2006 and the numbers of boys went on increasing in 2007 and now it is comprised of 5400 players. A record of some kind if you compare MTFA’s enrolment with other Academies around the world. It is also said that in some sources that MTFA is on brink of World Record as far as enrolment are concerned : their 843 are behind 1000-plus registration of Real Sport Experience's International Football Academy in Brazil’s Agua de Lindoia, near Sao Paulo.

“As a footballer, the best I can do for youths in Pakistan is to give them a platform where they can learn how to play football and make a living out of it. It is my strongly-held belief that Academies play a crucial role in the development of not only football, but also other sports," this is stated by MTFA's President Mian Rizwan Ali while talking during MTFA Kick-off Football Tournament at MTFA Ground.
