Greenhithe Football Club, commonly referred to as Greenhithe Catimba, “gamesmanship” in Portuguese, is a word used by Brazillians to describe the football style of players from Argentina and Uruguay [1], is an amateur association football club based in the suburb of Greenhithe, Auckland, New Zealand. They are part of the Northern Football Federation, currently competing in the NRFL Division 2. They also compete in the NFF Federation Cup and the New Zealand Chatham Cup.[2]

Greenhithe strongly represents the Latin American community in Auckland, forming a relationship with Latin American social side Catimba in 2018; as a result, Greenhithe had more Argentine players than any other club outside Argentina in 2018.[3][4]

History
