New Zealand International Football Festival

A football takeover is coming to Eden Park.

The New Zealand International Football Festival 2026 brings English Football legends, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea FC Women to Auckland for two landmark showdowns against Auckland FC’s men’s and—for the first time ever—women’s squads. It’s the local legends versus the English giants, live on New Zealand’s biggest stage. Experience the atmosphere, the stars, and the history-making moments as the beautiful game takes over the City of Sails.

This event is proudly supported by the New Zealand Government’s Events Attraction Package and Auckland Council Events, through Tātaki Auckland Unlimited.
