Hi everyone,

Still considering the move...

Just wondering if anyone knows how popular womens football (soccer) is is NZ?

I play twice a week here in England, usually just 5 a side or a friendly kick about but it's a big part of my life and i'm worried there wont be much interest in NZ? Anyone play womens football or know about it in NZ?

I know it seems like a silly question but playing football makes me happy

A couple of my mates coach women's football teams here in Dunedin. There's plenty of teams and a successful league.

Don't believe the Rugby hype, football is a huge sport here especially at a local level. When you drive around you'll see as many football pitches and football teams playing as Rugby pitches and teams.

There's of social games too, we play in a summer mixed league on a Friday night at the hockey centre.

The girl who emigrated with my daughter plays women's league football in Wellington now, when in Auckland she played hockey as well.

Yep lots of women's football in Auckland, quite a boom area for NZ Football
