New Zealand’s homecoming match for the All Whites — their first on home soil since 2017 — provides the highlight of this weekend’s football action.
Whether you’re going to Auckland’s Eden Park for the match against Australia’s Socceroos, or watching it live on Sky Sport 1, it’s likely to have all the grit and tension of a trans-Tasman battle.
Other fixtures have been scheduled away from the All Whites kick-off time to enable players and spectators to get to as many live matches as possible.
The weekend sees the second round of the Women’s National League, the final of the OFC U-19 Championship in Tahiti, and some women’s trophy finals in the Waikato.
