Auckland City, amateurs, go to Club World Cup to face Bayern & Co
The Morning Standard
|June 11, 2025
THE revamped Club World Cup starting on Saturday brings together some of the most celebrated teams and players in world football. And Auckland City.
In a tournament boasting $1 billion in prize money, the New Zealand side are a striking anomaly. Auckland City are an amateur club, their players balancing football with university studies or full-time jobs as teachers, real estate agents and sales reps. They don't earn a salary for playing. Their first game at the Club World Cup in the United States brings them face-to-face with German champions Bayern Munich and their prolific England striker Harry Kane.
Benfica and Boca Juniors, two other storied heavyweights, come next. Auckland City striker Angus Kilkolly cannot wait.
