We prioritize integrity, respect, and excellence—both on and off the field. With strong community ties and a dedication to sustainability, we continuously invest in our facilities, coaching, and development pathways. Whether you’re here to compete or simply enjoy the game, WSAFC is where passion for football thrives.

Western Springs AFC has a long history tracing its roots all the way back to 1923. The current club was formed through the amalgamation of Grey Lynn Celtic and Pt Chevalier AFC in 1989.
