About Manurewa AFC

Manurewa AFC is a community football club founded in 1959, based at War Memorial Park on Gibbs Road in Manurewa, South Auckland. It has a historic grandstand with blue and gold steps overlooking the main pitch, clubrooms with a mezzanine view over the fields, and a bar and kitchen serving hot food and drinks. A food caravan operates on busy weekends. Jellicoe Park, just around the corner, is used as an alternative pitch.

The club offers football for all ages and abilities, from junior and youth teams to academy, women's and senior sides. Its First Team continues a history of competing at the top levels of New Zealand football. The club was formed by a merger of Tramways, the 1929 Chatham Cup winners, and another Manurewa club, and it won the Chatham Cup in 1931 under the merged name. The club says it is more than a club and calls itself a community built on football, friendship and pride.
