Football app to simplify Saturday

- STAFF REPORTERS

The Auckland Football Federation (AFF), in partnershi­p with The Sports Agency, have rolled out a new mobile app. The project aimed to supply users a practical tool to enhance their experience of football in the Auckland region.

Chris Milicich, general manager of The Sports Agency and head coach of Waitakere United, said the new app was more intuitive and enjoyable for the user with the ability to check fixtures, ground venues and receive tailored communicat­ions from specific Auckland Football points of contact.

‘‘The AFF app is designed to reflect the shift in communicat­ions and the habits of football stakeholde­rs whether they be parents from a non-football background looking for a club for their child to join or simply find the fastest way to reach an unknown venue on match day.’’

Several of west Auckland’s top football clubs play in the various AFF competitio­ns including Glen Eden United and West Auckland AFC.

The Sports Agency had provided apps for other organisati­on such as Netball North Harbour, Sailing Youth World Championsh­ips, the World Masters Games Sailing, Snow Sports NZ, Surf Life Saving New Zealand, Rowing New Zealand, the Rotorua Marathon, New Zealand Rugby League and Harbour Sport.

The new app is free and available to download now.
