As an Aucklander obviously I’m Biased but it’s pretty crazy how Auckland FC are already a miles bigger club than the Phoenix.
Obviously the population and football interest between the cities is significant but despite results I just wanna mention how much of a buzz there is in the community about the club.
They’ve copped a lot of stick leading up to the season but they’re absolutely moping the floor with every other a league club in regards to how to run a club. They’re constantly in the community whether it be primary schools, football clubs, big name investors, or just social events amongst the city etc…
Plus they’re killing it on the pitch which is the main thing. Very impressive stuff top to bottom, they’re repping the benefits of their hard work and huge kudos to everyone involved.

The Nix have the history, drawn much bigger crowds, made finals appearances and developed talent that went on to play in Europe.
AFC are barely 6 weeks in and off the back of a soft soft travel schedule.
