Here's to the champions of Central Otago 2026. Onward to bigger challenges! 👑

Queenstown AFC Under 15s Black — UNDEFEATED. UNFORGETTABLE.

⚽ Christchurch International Cup – CUFC ⚽

Our U11s, U12s, and U13s headed to Christchurch for the Christchurch International Cup at CUFC — a tough tournament that tested every bit of their ability.

Big well done to our U13s, who pushed hard for the plate for the third year running, but came up just short in the final against a strong New Zealand side — finishing as runners-up. A phenomenal effort and something every player should hold their head high about. 🥈

Across all of our squads, what really stood out wasn't just the results — it was the team play, the commitment, and the way these young players left it all out on the pitch. Tournaments like these are about more than just football. They're about the friends made, the memories created, and the bonds forged through shared challenges.

None of it happens without the incredible support behind every player. A heartfelt thank you to:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family and friends who travelled, cheered, and believed.

📣 Coaches who put in countless hours, on and off the field.

🏢 Colliers — our naming sponsor, whose backing makes trips like this possible.

🙌 Everyone who supported the trip and made it possible.

We are proud of every single player. You represented your club with class and heart. On to the next challenge! 💪🔵

Fueling Future Champions at Queenstown AFC! ⚽🍔

Big shoutout to McDonald's Queenstown and Frankton for going above and beyond this season. They haven't just sponsored one team—they've backed TWO (U8.2 and U9.4), plus two of our dedicated coaches, and even stepped in to help a young player who needed a little extra support to get on the pitch.

That's the kind of community spirit we love. It's not just about the logo on the jersey—it's about making sure every child who wants to play football gets the chance to.

To our U8.2 and U9.4 squads: Keep running, keep smiling, keep playing hard! And to our McDonalds in Queenstown, a huge thank you for being more than a sponsor—you're part of our football family. 🙌

Every goal starts with someone believing in you. Thanks for believing in ours.

Adventures on the Pitch, Adventures Off It. ⛰️⚽⛺

A huge thank you to Franz Josef Top 10 Holiday Park for stepping up as the proud sponsor of our 8.2 team at Queenstown AFC.

Just as a great holiday park provides the perfect basecamp for exploring the wild beauty of the West Coast — comfort, community, and a sense of adventure around every corner — our 8.2 squad is learning that success on the field comes from that same spirit of preparation and togetherness. These players are building momentum, embracing challenges head-on, and discovering that the journey is just as important as the destination.

We're thrilled to have Franz Josef Top 10 Holiday Park backing our 8.2s! As you can see in the photo above, the team is ready to represent our local partners with pride and energy. Their commitment to creating memorable experiences mirrors the passion our athletes bring to every training session and match.

👏 Franz Josef Top 10 Holiday Park: Thanks for being part of our journey and for supporting our local talent.
