Greenhithe Football Club, commonly referred to as Greenhithe Catimba (“gamesmanship” in Portuguese), is an amateur association football club based in the suburb of Greenhithe, Auckland, New Zealand.[1] They are part of the Northern Football Federation, currently competing in the NRFL Division 2. They also compete in 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

Originally founded in 1983 as a junior club, in 2016 the club changed its name from Greenhithe Junior Football Club to Greenhithe Football Club to prepare to expanded the club and start including senior teams including social and women's football.
