Women's Community Football
Reigniting Women’s Football at Hibiscus Coast AFC
At Hibiscus Coast AFC, we’re proud of our thriving junior and youth girls’ programme — full of energy, passion, and potential. Now, we’re taking the next step: rebuilding a strong, connected space for senior women’s football (ages 17+) right here on the Coast.
Whether you’re an experienced player, returning after time away, or brand new to the game, you’re welcome here. Our kaupapa is about creating a space where wāhine can connect, feel supported, and enjoy football — without pressure, and with plenty of laughs.
Open Women’s Session – Everyone Welcome
We’re excited to host an Open Women’s Football Session as part of our plans to grow women’s football at the Coast.
- Date: Sunday 1st & 8thFebruary
- Time: 10:00 am
- Location: Stanmore Bay Park
This session is open to all women aged 17+ — whether you’ve played recently, a long time ago, or are just curious to give football a go. There’s no pressure and no expectations, just an opportunity to come along, have a kick, meet others, and be part of something growing.
Bring a friend or come on your own — you’ll be warmly welcomed.
For any questions ahead of the session, email female@hibiscuscoastafc.co.nz
Over-35s – Calling All Legends
We’re excited to share that we’re now inviting expressions of interest from women aged 35+ as part of a new Over-35s league.
This is a space for our legends — women who still love the game, enjoy the social side of football, and want to stay connected in a team environment that fits their stage of life.
Whether you’ve played for years or are dusting off the boots after a break, we’d love to hear from you.
Expression of Interest for 2026 and open sessions
Planning for the 2026 season. We’re excited to welcome returning players and new faces alike. This is all about helping you find your space within a team and ensuring you have the best experience possible.

Over-35s players are encouraged to complete the Expression of Interest so we can shape this league together.
He wāhi tēnei mā ngā wāhine katoa – a place for all women.
Even if you’re not lacing up your boots, you can still support us — by sharing this with a sister, daughter, friend, colleague or teammate who might love it.
Toa wāhine. Bleed Green. Let’s grow something special together.
