Our Journey in the Auckland Sunday Football Association (ASFA) League
Gurkha FC is proud to be an active participant in the Auckland Sunday Football Association (ASFA) League, one of the most vibrant and inclusive amateur football competitions in Auckland. Since our humble beginnings, we have made steady progress—both on and off the field—thanks to the unwavering dedication of our players, volunteers, and supporters.
From Grassroots to Growth
Our involvement in the ASFA League started as a means to unite passionate Nepalese footballers in Auckland under a shared vision. What began as a friendly gathering of young individuals has transformed into a well-organised football club committed to competitive excellence and community spirit.
Every season in the ASFA League has offered us valuable lessons—building our resilience, sharpening our strategies, and enhancing our team cohesion. Despite the challenges, Gurkha FC has consistently risen through the ranks, demonstrating strong performances, unwavering sportsmanship, and a deep respect for the game.
Performance Highlights
Over the seasons, Gurkha FC has recorded several impressive results, reflecting our growing confidence and capability:
-
Consistent League Presence: We have maintained a regular presence in the league with steady performances against seasoned clubs.
-
Strong Team Culture: Our players’ commitment to discipline, teamwork, and skill development has significantly improved our match outcomes.
-
Tactical Evolution: Under the guidance of our coaching team, we have embraced dynamic playing styles and strategic adaptability that have made us a competitive side in the league.
Our matches often showcase not only technical skill but also the cultural richness and unity of the Nepalese community in New Zealand. This dual impact—athletic and cultural—has made our presence in the ASFA League particularly meaningful.
Building for the Future
While our on-field progress is commendable, Gurkha FC is equally focused on strengthening its foundation as a community-oriented, not-for-profit sports organisation. We continue to invest in player development, promote youth involvement, and foster inclusivity in our squad selections.
Looking ahead, our ambition is to achieve even greater milestones in the ASFA League, aiming for top-table finishes while continuing to serve as proud representatives of the Nepalese diaspora in New Zealand football.
Gratitude to Our Supporters
Our journey would not have been possible without the enduring support of our members, volunteers, fans, and sponsors. Your belief in our mission fuels our progress and inspires us to reach new heights.
We welcome everyone to follow our journey, attend our matches, and be part of the Gurkha FC family. Together, we celebrate not only the spirit of football but also the strength of community.
