Hello. I'm moving to Auckland soon and I'm looking for an 11-a-side football/soccer team to play for.

I played at a fairly decent level in the UK, and I'm keen to keep playing. Does anyone know of any clubs I could contact?

Thanks

lardyl

depends on where you are looking to live.
we had some former semi-pros and the odd former pro about.
for those out west and north of the harbour bridge northern football federation is a place to start as it lists the clubs:

the other clubs are under Auckland Football Federation

I've played masters for and against quite a few of the NFF teams.

Hi Richard,

I play for a team - mainly expats - standard is ok but we have a good laugh and a few beers after the match normally.

Season starts March/April ish - but we play 7 a side in the summer.

If you are interested let me know and I can give you any more details you want.

Cheers

Dan

https://sites.google.com/site/wellin...allleague/home - try this for football in Wellington

And maybe try these guys about Cricket - http://www.wellington.govt.nz/servic...oup.php?id=842

Richard - when do you arrive and where do you play? Assuming you are born in 1983 we are all around your age (I am 1984) so would be keen for you to play with us - let me know if you are interested.

wellington has massive amounts of football teams, most of it is fairly social, but the season is short. What area are u in?

lardyl

if the club starts with Glen.... then avoid like the plague ....

Still in England at the moment, but looking to be in Porirua/Kapiti Coast in Dec/Jan, don't mind travelling a bit for a kickabout though.

Capital Football website. Look under the Contacts link.

for porirua area, look under western zone.
Western Suburbs and , further south, Tawa are the biggest/best clubs

It's a lot further than it looks on the map, you would be better off waiting till you get there.

You have to harden up if you play against Wainui
