Your talent determines what you can do
Who we are
Based on our past experiences in marketing Egyptian players in Europe, it became clear that Egyptian players are unable to adapt and shine quickly in the European leagues. Therefore, Cairo City was created to be a football club in the near future, and currently as a football academy, in partnership with the largest sports academy in Zurich, Switzerland.
Our Philosophy
Cairo City Academy is a football school built on realism, which deals with every talent in a way that ensures its development without any rush to win or achieve tournaments in an unconsidered manner. As this can stress the child’s nervous system or cause damage to the physical structure that is still developing. Our goal is for the child to enjoy football without pressures that make him hate the game, and at the same time put him on the right track to become a professional player who is able to cope with the troubles of training and the life of professionalism at the right age.
About Cairo City
Cairo City is a football academy founded in 2017 by Sport Makers with a partnership of Sports Academy Zurich in Switzerland. The academy is planning to become a football club playing at the professional level one day. Our goal since day one was to ensure that the children are having fun while at the same time preparing them for the life of a professional footballer. Therefore, the academy has been built from the inside out on Swiss principles, which are reflected in its training philosophy and methodology.

Switzerland has proven to be the most successful destination for young football players as a steppingstone in Europe to develop their talents from the young ages of 14 to 20. These young talents can later become professionals in the most competitive football leagues in the world. Accordingly, Cairo City has partnered with Sport Academy Zurich, a football academy that specializes in athletic talent development. In addition, Sport Academy Zurich offers an education system especially dedicated to outstanding athletes through its partnership with KV Zurich Business School.
