Auckland United Academy

The Auckland United FC Football Academy is recognised as one of the most successful football development programmes in the history of New Zealand Football.

The Academy is a year-round development programme, open to Boys & Girls aged U9 - U17, who aspire to become professional footballers.

Proud to have developed multiple New Zealand Internationals, including the likes of;

Sarpreet Singh, Max Mata, Alex Paulsen and Ruby Nathan.

Welcome to the Academy

Auckland United F.C was formed in 2020 with the amalgamation of Onehunga Sports FC and Three Kings United. At the same time, the successful Wellington Phoenix Soccer School was rebranded as Auckland United Academy and remained under the directorship of Miya (Hiroshi Miyazawa) and Jo Dawkins.

The Academy programme is based on 20 years of experience as a leading football development programme across New Zealand and has produced more than 50 New Zealand Representatives from U17 to All Whites as well as a multitude of players who have signed professional contracts with notable clubs from overseas.

Our ultimate goal is to help develop world-class footballers and world-class people.

We have established a development program and pathway that will not only inspire and support the dreams of our young players but also ensure they will be successful in whatever they choose to pursue in life.
