What an amazing time it is for female football in New Zealand currently, with a number of brilliant initiatives aimed at getting young players into the sport and a World Cup just around the corner in 2023.
For the next generation of elite players, pathways in America and Europe are being trail blazed by home grown champions such as Abby Erceg and it shouldn’t be too long before we have a professional women’s team in Australia’s W-League.
Here at Island Bay United we have had a record number of junior female registrations this year so to acknowledge both this groundswell and NZ Footballs Girls and Women's month we, in concert with Capital Football, are hosting a fun filled celebration at Wakefield Park from 4:30pm on Friday the 19th of March.
There will be fun games organized by Capital Football staff, spot prizes for those wanting to give football a try, a BBQ, a boot swap and the opportunity to talk club staff about the prospect of playing in 2021.
Whether you already have a poster of Megan Rapinoe on your wall or are just curious about the buzz surrounding female football this is the event for you!

See you at Wakefield on the 19th
