Auckland FC will travel to Queensland to face the Gold Coast Knights in the Hahn Australia Cup 2025 Round of 32.
This Knight-on-Knight clash will be the first time Auckland FC will have played in the competition.
The Hahn Australia Cup 2025 Round of 32 will be played over two weeks in July from Saturday, 19 July to Wednesday, 30 July.
It’s anticipated that venues, dates and timings for the Round of 32 will be made available by Monday, 30 June, as Football Australia works with participating clubs and Member Federations to navigate existing match schedules and ground availability.
The Gold Coast Knights currently sit third in the NPL Queensland table. The team plays its home games at the Gold Coast Croatia Sports Centre.
Despite being made up of semi-professional players, the team are no push overs. The team won the Queensland Championship in 2019, 2022, and 2023. The club was also 2022 Premiership runners-up, and 2023 Premiership winners.
The club based in the suburb of Carrara, just 15 minutes from Surfers Paradise. A crowd of around 2,500 is anticipated, no doubt boosted by Kiwis living locally or those keen to head over the Tasman for some winter sun.
Ticket information will be released by the Gold Coast Knights shortly.
