Auckland FC ball kids will be well-looked after this season thanks to a new partnership with Tāmaki Health.
Under the White Cross GP & Urgent Care and Bettr 24/7 online care brands, Tāmaki Health will become the official healthcare partner of the Black Knights.
The partnership will include the sponsorship of the numerous ball kids seen around the edge of the pitch, eagerly helping retrieve the ball during each game.
It’s this spirit of eagerness and cooperation that brings Tāmaki Health and Auckland FC together.
“We believe good health is about more than treating today’s symptoms. Holistic wellness and prevention are at the heart of what we do – and staying active plays a vital role in boosting wellbeing, reducing stress, and improving our mental health. Supporting sport in our community is a natural fit with this vision,” says Dr Lloyd McCann, CEO Tāmaki Health (Local Doctors, White Cross & Bettr)
“Auckland FC is a forward-thinking club with great energy, and we’re excited to stand alongside them in encouraging participation in sport and building healthier communities.”

Tāmaki Health is the largest privately owned healthcare group, caring for over 4,500 people every day through our 50+ general practice and urgent care clinics.
Bettr is Tāmaki Health’s venture into the digital world of online healthcare, an accredited provider of Health NZ’s 24/7 online GP solution.
“Tāmaki Health is a future focused business revolutionising the way we think about healthcare,” says Nick Becker, Auckland FC CEO.
“They also believe in the power of sport to unite communities as well as the obvious health benefits that come with sport and exercise. They are a perfect partner for us, and we look forward to fruitful working relationship.”
