ABOUT US

East Coast Bays AFC is a football club located at Bay City Park, 54 Andersons Road in Browns Bay on Auckland's North Shore. We have a fantastic community with more than 1500 members and a great team of volunteers and professional coaches, and the club caters for players of all ages, abilities and levels.

Our club has a proud history and was one of the first clubs in New Zealand to be issued a quality mark by New Zealand Football. Our men's first team has won the Chatham Cup (2008) and the NRFL Premier Division three times. 

Recently, our club was selected as a training base for the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 event, which will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come. With a focus on lifting the number of girls playing football, the club is excited about the opportunity the 2023 World Cup will present to inspire more girls to give football a go. 

Our East Coast Bays AFC community consists of a team of dedicated volunteers and professional coaching teams, governed by experienced and passionate Board members.

If you'd like to connect with one of our board members, please feel free to reach out to Duane admin@ecbafc.co.nz or Gail gail@ecbafc.co.nz
