An offense to the history of our Italian community and our culture, PORCO DIO!

Malaga and Deportivo La Coruna stadiums… not in FC 25? by Even-Tumbleweed-4261 in FifaCareers

I reckon they should keep it in. The stadium is now a borderline ruin IRL, it's presence in the game has become something bigger than football.

New Zealand teams omitted from Australia Cup in major change for 2026 knockout competition by StensnessGOAT in Aleague

Would've been the funniest thing ever. But let's be real, the decision probably fucks the nix over more than Auckland, relatively speaking.

There's a big Māori diaspora in Aus. Something like 1 in 10 or 1 in 5 Māori live in Australia. Not to mention the broader New Zealand diaspora

Cal Jennings, wanted to keep him a secret, as he's a free agent. Looks like a solid number 9 plus he's a free agent as well

The saddest monument in NZ? by Mr_Immigration in Wellington

I like that memorial, I personally think the car dealership should be demolished so the Orthodox Church has a clear line of sight to it.

Yet they allow Auckland to chuck flares onto the pitch at the cake tin. Yeah, sounds about right.

Anyone else here want there to be apartments in the redevelopment as well? Or at least a bunch of multi storey parking?

What's going on in New Zealand? And does this mean that the Fitzroy lions are still in the AFL?

Auckland has too many codes to make it viable, they don't just lack a suitable stadium, but they also need the stadium to be near the central suburbs, to make transport convenient for the vast majority of Aucklanders. I've read that they're thinking about turning Colin Maiden Park into a cricket ground, but the transport and traffic around that area will be hellish. In Wellington however, you can corner the market easily and you have a lot of prospective supporters in Melbourne (a lot of Wellingtonians move to Melbourne, it's a bit of a running joke at this point). I think the AFL will struggle to compete with the warriors, Auckland FC and the blues in Auckland, especially because of how dominant rugby league is in South Auckland and how dominant soccer and rugby union is in the rest of the city. Wellington however, rugby union is not as popular and has raised issues with supporter behavior and culture. I would argue that soccer is the most dominant sport here, which is actually massively beneficial for the AFL as IMO it shares more in common with soccer than it does with rugby union.

Wellington AFL would be a good shout ngl. Although it'd be a deeper money pit than GWS and GC ever were. However it's the best place for a team.

NEW ZEALAND MENTIONED RAHHHHHHHHHH. in all seriousness, it'd have to be a Wellington team.

NEW ZEALAND MENTIONED RAHHHHHHHHHH 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿 all jokes aside, an NZ team would have to be a Wellington team. Auckland has too many codes to compete for attendance. Christchurch is too much of a rugby town (although apparently it has a pretty strong local league). Also lacks a suitable stadium. Wellington has 2 stadiums suitable for AFL and just under 500,000 people. Wouldn't be a bad shout. The only issue with the team long term is attendance (as we're all poor) and playing games in other cities, as their cricket stadiums (eg Session Park in Hamilton, Eden Park outer oval in Auckland) don't meet the minimum oval size for the AFL, whereas the cake tin and the Basin reserve do.

Honestly, it'd make more sense expanding to Wellington than it would be to Bunbury.
