We are pleased to confirm that we have been awarded the exclusive live X posting rights to the Reykjavík total solar eclipse on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. It's the first one here since 1954. We will tell you everything you need to know about five minutes of darkness in the day.
We are top of the league (properly this time)!!!!
A kiwi playing for Dundee United! (always wished that could have been me!) Allan Boath & Sandy Davie both played for United before moving to NZ and going on to play for the All Whites, closest we had the other way was I think Che Bunce had a trial but never played

Great news for @NZ_Football but @NZStuff on the ball as usual, claiming that it would be first time we've played Egypt, ignoring the two games we played against them in Mexico in 1999 prior to Confed cup (drew 1-1 & L 0-1) stuff.co.nz/sport/football…

@helena_molly13 Didn’t think you’d fall in love with a bucket fountain? You would in Wellington!
@TheJourneyFan @NZ_Football Agreed they probably always have had intent. But intent has been enhanced by incentive. I found that at Petone. The incentive of NL made us think outside the box to make NL a reality. Other clubs are doing likewise. Credit to Nelson, Coastal and other clubs doing the same
@thekiwicanary @TheJourneyFan @NZ_Football There is now a mix of good overseas players and top young talent. Those young players in 3 years time will have a far higher bar. And I think more likely to stay in the game with something to play for each season. Again my comment is longer term not current state
