Club career

Early career

Egy comes from a family of footballers. His father coached at SSB Tasbi, a football school in Medan where Egy began to play, while his older brother Yusrizal Muzakki has played for lower league teams in Indonesia. At SSB Tasbi, Egy participated in the Grassroots Indonesian U-12 Tournament in 2012. His raw talent was noticed by the Indonesian national talent scouts. At that time, Egy helped his team to become the champions of that tournament and also ended up as the top scorer. After primary school, he went to the Special Sports School, a government secondary school for talented athletes in the Ragunan area of South Jakarta or better known as SKO Ragunan. In 2016, Egy was part of an Indonesian youth team that became the champion in the Gothia Cup event in Sweden. He won the best player award of the 2016 Gothia Cup tournament after bagging a total of 28 goals along the way.[3]

His talent increasingly attracted international media attention when he played for the Indonesia U-19 team that represented Asia in the renowned Festival International Espoirs - Tournoi Maurice Revello or better known as the Toulon Tournament for youth teams from 29 May to 10 June 2017. While his team lost all of its group matches, Egy won the prestigious Jouer Revelation Trophée for being the breakout player in the tournament, an award previously won by footballers who later became world stars, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane.[3][4]
