The academy was started in 2016 with only 70 kids and one coach, who also works as a teacher. The U19 were 29, the U16 were 16, the U14 were 15 and U12 were 10 kids. The academy was later noticed by many after the "Mbunge Cup" which was prepared by the Parliament Representative in 2018. The MA U19 team became the second winner in that tournament.
