Ford New Zealand has teamed up with Auckland FC, becoming the Official Vehicle Partner of the club and extending its support of football in New Zealand.
As Official Vehicle Partner, Ford will be supplying the club with a fleet of Ford vehicles to assist the club’s day-to-day operations, supporting the club on and off the field.
Marketing Director of Ford New Zealand, Mathew Slade, is looking forward to supporting “one of the most exciting stories in New Zealand sport.”
“We see ourselves as the driving force behind New Zealand sport – not just a logo but genuinely embedded in how these organisations operate. With Auckland FC, that comes through literally: our vehicles are moving the team and gear, and we’re showing up at the ground and in the community, not just on a jersey.”
“Auckland finished the 2024–25 season as A-League Men Premiers, becoming the first New Zealand-based club to win A-League silverware. That energy and the passionate, growing fanbase behind it made this a natural fit alongside our other Kiwi sport partnerships.”
“One of our main focuses when we started this club was to strengthen football in New Zealand and show this country what the beautiful game is all about,” says Auckland FC CEO, Nick Becker.
“Partnering with a company like Ford that shares these same goals and that is strongly ingrained with football in New Zealand, for us, was a no-brainer.”
Together, Auckland FC and Ford are driving football forward in New Zealand, on and off the pitch.
