Team Sponsorship Fund

Auckland City FC has qualified for the FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2009 as the representative team of the Oceania Football Confederation.

We are the only amateur club that will participate at this prestigious event which will crown FIFA’s world champion club side for 2009.

A New Zealand team has never won a match at this tournament and this is the challenge that the club has set itself for the campaign.

To give ourselves the best possible preparation the team will travel to Qatar for a training camp and warm up match before heading onto Abu Dhabi for the tournament.

As part of this dedicated effort our players will be in camp full-time for at least two weeks over the course of the trip and some will be taking unpaid leave from their respective occupations.

To assist the players and their families in this regard, we are organising a Team Sponsorship Fund that will be used to assist these players.

Here is your chance to sponsor a player or team official to the tune of $500 or part thereof.

You could alternatively form a syndicate with a few friends to sponsor one of our squad.

All sponsors will be recognised here on our website and also on a commemorative plaque which will be displayed in our clubrooms.

If you are able to make a contribution to the Sponsorship Fund your generosity will be greatly appreciated by the club.
