Your guide to the weekend — all the big games, and all on one page!

There’s everything from a sudden death OFC Champions League play-off to a special pre-season friendly to remember a stalwart of Auckland football — that’s how the weekend shapes up for football fans.

Auckland City and Wellington Olympic face each other in a high-stakes play-off to decide who will represented New Zealand in this year’s OFC Champions League.

The Wellington Phoenix men’s team are in Adelaide for a Friday night game that could see them leap into second spot on the A-League ladder — at least until Saturday.

The Wellington Phoenix women get the chance to follow up last weekend’s upset win against leaders Sydney FC with a home game against Perth Glory on Saturday.

There’s three days of top-drawer futsal as a dozen men’s and women’s teams gather in Auckland for the first of this year’s national series.

And on Sunday, Auckland clubs Mount Albert Ponsonby and Central United remember the late Brian ‘Stan’ Stanyer with the ninth playing of the memorial game named in his honour.
