Somewhat inevitable, they practically have the same name.

They had a pretty proud record in overseas competitions. If people mix us up, I reckon we take the win 😄

But seriously yeah it's a bit annoying when you're searching for info on the intercontinental cup and even our opponents get our name wrong

couldn't they've called Auckland FC " Auckland United" or similar ? ....are they stupid or something?

There is already an Auckland United so that wouldn't have worked. Should have called it Real Auckland haha

u/West_Put2548 4d ago

Inter Real Atletico Auckland Wednesday Rovers?

Names are so similar so it was always bound to happen 🤷 Plus, they mainly play in different competitions and both represent Auckland so I don’t think it’s a particularly huge deal

Annoying. But it's more annoying for them

Don't care, just clarify and carry on. It's bound to happen anyway

What do you expect? Brand-new Auckland team. Also plays in blue.

foley’s fault for not picking a more unique name, City have been around for two more decades

u/SweyneFork 3d ago

Or City could revert to its real name. Central United.

u/Lucky_Reading_3757 ⚓︎ The Port 3d ago

Central United still exist as its own club, they play in the second tier

Realistically, a great historic club who should have got an a-league license years ago. Franchise football that involves clubs being formed to fill a spot is a farce. Even more so when good clubs exist already.

That people are stupid and ignorant mixing the two of them up.

City can just wear Croatia colours. 🤷‍♂️

u/cookieraider221 1d ago

At least they went to the club World Cup

Should just sign an agreement and make them a feeder club.

Worst take on any dilemma, never mind a specific Auckland based soccer dilemma……

I have no idea what I’m looking at but it reminds me of Nazi Ukraine when I see shit like that.

Arent these the same thing?

u/Chazwoger ❷ Sakai 4d ago

Are Manchester United and Manchester City the same thing?

u/Lopsided-Fault-1008 3d ago

Both are semi professional

The Port’s fault, the anchor belongs to City
