Auckland’s Go Media Stadium will be the home ground for Auckland FC’s A-League fixtures for at least the next five years.
The club has signed a long-term agreement with Auckland Stadiums, a division of Tätaki Auckland Unlimited, to play their home games at the Mt Smart venue.
Auckland FC’s training and administrative headquarters will be at North Harbour Stadium, Albany.
The Mt Smart stadium, in Penrose, will continue to be known as Go Media Stadium after a new deal was struck between Auckland Stadiums and outdoor advertising company Go Media.

“We are thrilled to welcome Auckland FC and look forward to football fans from all over New Zealand joining us at Go Media Stadium over the next five years.
