Tawa AFC is a community football club based at Redwood Park on Main Road in Tawa, Wellington. It was formed on 2 November 1971 by a small group who saw many young players in the Tawa-Linden area without a club to join. The club says its purpose is to give players and families a place of belonging, community and wellbeing through football, and it serves Tawa and the northern suburbs.
The club runs football from juniors through to masters. Its teams include 32 age-grade teams, a First Kicks programme for the youngest players, three girls-only teams, seven men's teams, four masters teams and four women's teams. Women's football was approved as part of the club in 1973, early in its history. Club news and match updates come through the free Sporty NZ app, where you search for Tawa AFC.
