Auckland FC are one game away from making history—and the Hibiscus Coast will be watching.

After a gutsy 1–0 win away in Melbourne thanks to a brilliant Logan Rogerson header in the 66th minute, Auckland FC now return home for the all-important second leg of the A-League Men’s Semi Final.

This Saturday 24 at Go Media Stadium will be electric, with more than 28,000 fans expected to pack the stands.

It’s the club’s first-ever home semi-final, and with the home crowd behind them, Auckland are in prime position to book their spot in the Grand Final.

It’s been a dream debut season in the league, capped off by claiming the Premier Plate.

Now, just one match stands between the club and a shot at championship glory.

Whether you’re heading to the stadium or tuning in live on Sky Sport, this is one not to miss.

Gates open at 4:30, and the atmosphere promises to be huge from the first whistle.

For Coasties who’ve followed Auckland’s rise, this is more than just a match—it’s a moment of pride.

A local team playing fearless football and taking it to the best in the league.

And if they win? It’s off to the Grand Final.
