Marlborough Football

Anyone keen on an 'football away day' in Christchurch? It will be the 1st game of football in the new stadium. Don't miss it.

⚽🏆The Beautiful Game comes to One New Zealand Stadium.
Saturday 5 September — Kate Sheppard Cup Final, 1pm. Chatham Cup Final, 4pm.

The first football ever played at Christchurch's new stadium, and the first national cup finals held here since 2013. Two national finals in one afternoon, with Canterbury sides taking on Auckland's best in both.

Whatever badge is on your shirt, this is a day for Canterbury football. Get your club together, bring the family, wear your colours.

👍 Entry is free. Let's fill the house for the biggest day this game has had here in over a decade.

Congratulations to Cameron Oakes, from Rangers AFC, Blenheim on his selection to the Nelson Marlborough U17 Boys Youth Southern League Team for 2026. Enjoy your upcoming games!

The Boys Youth Southern League provides an exciting opportunity for these young players to test themselves against quality opposition, gain valuable experience at a higher level, and further develop their skills and confidence.

Congratulations to all players selected — we look forward to following the teams progress throughout the BYSL competition.
