This past weekend was one for the books as we had the privilege of taking an incredible group from Starship Children’s Hospital to experience the excitement of an Auckland FC match at Go Media Stadium. It was an unforgettable evening, made even better by Auckland FC’s dominating 6-1 victory!
From the moment we arrived, the energy in the sold-out stadium was absolutely electric. The crowd was buzzing with excitement, soaking up the atmosphere, and celebrating every goal. As always, the experience wasn’t just about football; it was about creating memories and giving back to our community.
