Sponsorship

We missed out on the funding for the extra lights we were hoping to get for Papatoetoe Rec grounds.

The club is looking for sponsors to enable us to purchase at least 1 or 2 more lights.

They cost approx. $26,000 each including GST.

We are also looking for general sponsorship, not just the lights, if you can help, please let us know.

If you know of any individual/organisation that may be interested, please contact Anil through our club

e-mail papatoetoe_united@hotmail.com or club mobile 0274 201 720.

Auckland International Cup (Anzac Weekend)

We’re thrilled to share some fantastic news from the Auckland International Cup held over Anzac weekend — players from Papatoetoe United did an incredible job representing your club!

It was a fantastic opportunity for the boys to compete against teams from New Zealand, Spain, and South Korea and they represented Papatoetoe United extremely well.

Here’s what we achieved:

U9’s – 4th Place

U10’s – 2nd Place

U11’s – 2nd Place

U12’s – 4th Place

We’re proud to say we were the only academy with top-four finishes across all age groups — a huge accomplishment for everyone involved!

I’ve attached the list of Papatoetoe United players who took part in the tournament.

We’re incredibly proud of their efforts and would love to see them recognised within your club community!
