Sure, but they will have their own forum. Yellow Fever is the supporters club of the Wellington Phoenix. The Auckland side will have their own fan club like all a-league teams, and people can and will be members of both. There's still the Kiwi's overseas section of this forum, maybe if you want a place here to talk about NZ players who play for Auckland you can suggest a name change for that section? Kiwis outside of the Nix, for instance.
It's crazy to me that people want to morph Yellow Fever into a fan group for both NZ sides when the most exciting thing (and the thing that will grow the game) will be the rivalry.
The interesting conundrum will be does this forum still revert to white noise in world cup years?

IMO I love how when the AWs play in Wellington we step up as white noise. Should continue to support the All Whites when we can and I’m sure a few will go and join the Lost Kiwis in 2026 WC.
Speaking of the 2026 WC, we does everyone want our group ‘hub’ to be? Kind of sucks we are playing in American summer so will be pretty hot in most cities.
Fifa said the groups will play in certain locations before splitting off to group stages, so hopefully we get a solid tourist destination as our hub, just my preference as I’ll be going.. would love it to be Mexico City.
Off topic but the 2026 World Cup Schedule is out.
16 different venues. 2 cities Canada, 11 cities USA & 3 cities Mexico.
12 Groups of 4 teams.

If you don't like heat, cross your fingers the AWs play somewhere like Vancouver, Seattle, or San Fran.
