The Empoli Way

At Empoli Football Academy, the Sydney Premier League is more than just a league: it’s a platform that aligns perfectly with our mission to develop top-level footballers through a structured and holistic pathway. As an exclusive, invitation-only competition featuring some of the country’s most ambitious academies, it provides the ideal stage for our most skilled players to grow, compete, and thrive.

We enter the league with a strong commitment to:
Performance with Purpose: The Sydney Premier League allows our players to compete consistently at a high standard, offering weekly challenges that drive both individual and team development. It’s not just about results, but about elevating our players through meaningful, competitive experiences.
An Italian Methodology: Our identity on the pitch reflects our deep connection with Empoli F.C. in Italy. Through tactical structure, technical discipline, and intelligent play, we bring a European approach to the Australian football landscape.
Excellence in Behaviour: Competing at this level demands more than skill it demands character. We hold our players to the highest standards of respect, resilience, and professionalism, on and off the field. This is the foundation of the sporting culture at Empoli F.C., where we believe in growing as people first, and playing as footballers second.

Being part of the Sydney Premier League is a proud step forward in our academy’s journey allowing us to test ourselves against the best, stay true to our values, and give our players a genuine pathway to reach their potential.
