Our Philosophy
Auckland FC is proud to announce the launch of the Youth Development Club Partnership, an initiative designed to nurture young talent of both Men and Women and deepen our connections with football communities in the Northern and WAIBOP regions.
Auckland FC invites all Talent Development Programme Clubs within NRF and WAIBOP to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), establishing them as an official Auckland FC Youth Development Club and paving the way for even greater collaboration in the development of youth football.
This partnership opens doors for Talent Development Programme Clubs across these areas, strengthening Auckland FC’s commitment to being an inclusive club for all.
