Based on the information provided by the Prime Minister and Dr Ashley Bloomfield that the number of cases in Auckland has increased, NRF have taken the proactive decision to postpone all Football and Futsal, including First Kicks, Fun Football and all inhouse activities, in the Auckland region until further notice.

The decision for the Auckland Region has been made now to provide clarity for our members as early as possible ahead of this weekend and ease any possible burden which would be placed at short notice on club volunteers regarding compliance in managing gathering sizes allowable under lower Alert Level requirements should they occur.

At this time the health and well-being of the wider community is paramount, and we must play our part to minimise exposure to Covid-19.

We will continue to monitor developments and will provide a further update in line with Government Alert Level updates.

All matches in the LOTTO NRFL are also postponed until further notice.

Stay safe and stay connected.
