In 2017, Egy was named as one of the 60 most talented and promising players born in the year 2000 by The Guardian.[2]

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]

He continued to shine in September 2017. Egy became the top scorer of the 2017 AFF U-19 Youth Championship with eight goals for the Indonesia U-19 team.[5]

By the end of 2017, there was a race to be the first professional team to sign Egy, who received interests from many non-Indonesian teams, including Thai League 2 club Chainat Hornbill that promised to organize a number of trials for Egy with some German clubs by the end of 2018. However, Egy's sight was squarely on Europe after his successes in youth tournaments in Sweden and France. [6][7]

Europe trials

Egy received trial offers from a number of European clubs including Benfica, Sporting CP, Getafe CF, Espanyol, Legia Warsaw, Saint-Étienne, Ajax Amsterdam and some Italian clubs.[8][9][10][11] However, he eventually chose Polish club Lechia Gdańsk, which took him in without any trials needed even when Egy had no experience being part of any professional club.

Lechia Gdańsk

On 11 March 2018, Egy officially joined Lechia Gdańsk on a three–year deal, joining the team on his 18th birthday.[12] He was handed the number 10 shirt, triggering hype in Poland and Indonesia.[13] He made his first-team debut on 22 December 2018 as a substitute in a match against Gornik Zabrze.[14] Egy played in the 2019 Polish SuperCup final against Piast Gliwice, coming on as a substitute in a match that Lechia won 3–1.[15] On 30 June 2021, Egy's three-year contract has expired and his club chose not to renew his contract.[16]

Senica

On 30 August 2021, Egy completed a move to Slovakian club Senica on a six-month contract, with an option to extend further for one-and-a-half-year.[17] Egy made his debut on 12 September 2021 at Štadión FK Senica, coming on in the 59th-minute, he provided an assist in a 1–0 league win against Pohronie.[18] Egy made his first start on 22 September 2021, in a league cup game against TJ Nafta Gbely, as Senica won 3–0, with Egy assisting the first goal.[19] Egy scored his first goal on 27 November in a league match against MSK Zilina. The match was postponed at half-time while the score was 1–1, due to heavy blizzard condition. Three-days later, he scored another goal in the continuation match, as his team drew 2–2.[20] [21] Due to his performance, He was named as Fortuna Liga Team of The Week, and was voted as the best AFC International Player of The Week.[22] [23]

International career

Egy played for Indonesia throughout youth levels in the Indonesia U-14, Indonesia U-16, Indonesia U-19, and Indonesia U-23 teams.

He made his debut and first goal for Indonesia U-16 in a friendly match against Vietnam U-16 in December 2014,[24] one year before Indonesia's FIFA suspension in 2015.[24] Weeks before the suspension, Egy scored two goals in a friendly match against Japan U-16 in April 2015.[25]

He made his debut for the Indonesia U-19 team in the 2017 Toulon Tournament on 31 May 2017 against Brazil U20.[26] His impressive performance at the tournament earned him the Breakthrough Player of the Tournament.[27] He made his debut for the Indonesia U-23 in a friendly match against the Syria U-23 on 16 November 2017 where he came on as a substitute.[28]

Before he moving to Poland, Egy Maulana made his debut for the senior Indonesian national team on 2 December 2017, also coming on as a substitute in the 4–0 win over Brunei in the 2017 Aceh World Solidarity Tsunami Cup.[29] His second appearance for senior team was in friendly match against Iceland on 14 January 2018. He came as subtitute at second half replacing Osvaldo Haay.[30] At the end of his Poland career, he received a call to join the senior Indonesian national football team again in May 2021. He scored his first international goal in a 25 May 2021 friendly match in Dubai against Afghanistan.[31][32]

Egy was also part of the Indonesia national under-23 football team that won silver in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, in which he scored three goals.

On 11 October 2021, he made first official international goal against Chinese Taipei in a 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualification – Play-off Round leg 2 match, in which Indonesia won 3–0.[33]
