Sponsorship Opportunities

Celebrating 60 years in the community, East Coast Bays AFC has a strong and vibrant history and is proud to be part of the fabric of our local community.

Our club has a prestigious history having won the Chatham Cup, and the NRFL Men's Premier Division three times. We have developed a reputation for growing young talent, representing New Zealand at junior and senior levels and being one of the first clubs in New Zealand to have accredited junior and youth talent development licenses.

However just as important is a strong focus on creating an environment for players at every level to feel a sense of achievement, belongingness and enjoyment – elements critical to the personal growth of young and seasoned players alike
