FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 Original Trophy coming to Porirua

Porirua City Council

Football fever is coming to New Zealand as the start of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ draws near.

Porirua is thrilled to play host to the South African team while they train in our city during the tournament – 20 July to 20 August. We’ll be throwing our support behind them, and our Football Ferns of course!

Before the games kick off, the Original Trophy is taking its own tour, and will be heading to Te Rauparaha Arena on Thursday 13 July, between 12.30 and 2pm.

Visitors will be able to grab a photo with the trophy, meet Tazuni, the official FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ Mascot, and join Western Suburbs Football Club in some football activities. Find out more

They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
