History

Saturday Football started 20 years ago with only a few Taipei European School (TES) students.

In the early days, there weren’t any youth football teams in Taiwan. Saturday Football was a fun “picnic” on Saturdays. There weren’t any tournaments or competing teams in Taipei at the time.

Independent Club

Football has evolved in Taiwan over the last 20 years and so did Saturday Football.

In 2018 Saturday Football had about 120 kids. Our operation on Saturdays was way too big for Taipei European School (TES).

That summer it was time to move out from the TES facilities. We became an independent football club.

SFI - Saturday Football International FC was founded with one of the biggest Youth Development Program in Taiwan.

In 2020 SFI offers a Grassroots program for age groups U8-U12 and a football academy for players in the 14-18 age groups.
Saturday Football International

We created SFI (Saturday Football International), with a clear mission.

We want to help training the new generation of football players in Taiwan. Our goal is to create an environment in which kids can learn more about sports.

We will teach them about sportsmanship, as well as fair and generous behavior. They will learn the technical, tactical and analytical aspects of football. We want to create an environment in which our players can realize their full potential.
