THIS IS AUCKLAND

THIS IS AUCKLAND is Auckland FC’s celebration of the city’s vibrant cultural diversity.

Before each home game, starting approximately three hours before kickoff and continuing up to two hours after, fans are invited to experience an American-style tailgate – an outdoor social event where people gather around cars and tents, in the LilyWorld car park just outside the stadium, to eat, drink and celebrate before our home matches.

Auckland FC’s tailgates offer a chance for fans to connect with their own cultural communities, share food and stories, and embrace the city’s diversity by meeting and celebrating with others. With food, music and camaraderie, this event highlights the unique spirit of Auckland and its multicultural identity.

To note, those who attend THIS IS AUCKLAND are not required to have a ticket to the game. We encourage all family and friends to join us!

WE ARE FOR EVERYONE

THIS IS AUCKLAND is a physical representation of the culturally diverse nature of Auckland and the global game of football.
To make sure we’re all set, it’d be great if all community members could help bring key items like tents, chairs, tables, food and coolers.

If you have any of these or are willing to help set them up, please reach out to your community heads or accompanying chats to arrange details.
