You know it's kind of crazy to think that this weekend we get to watch five professional NZ teams play football
Friday
Melbourne City vs Auckland fc - 9:35pm
Saturday
Canberra United vs Wellington Phoenix W - 7:30pm
Auckland fc II vs South Island United - 7:30pm
Sunday
Sydney fc vs Wellington Phoenix M - 7:30pm
I point this out because it was only in 2020 when it was just the Phoenix men's team, and now 6 years later we get 4 more teams. In fact to go even further 27/28 is when Auckland will have a women's team to make it 6 pro football teams in NZ. I know South's long-term future is unsure but still, considering NZ only had one professional team for roughly 20 years this is pretty cool.
