FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 Original Trophy coming to Porirua
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.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Art and Craft Market at Kai Tahi - 10 till 3 EVERY SUNDAY!
Hi neighbours
The new Porirua Community Art and Craft market at Kai Tahi in Porirua is now running EVERY Sunday. It's all indoors, and there's over 30 stalls each week.
Opens at 10am and closes 3pm, so you can also grab lunch at the many international food court options. Bring the kids, and your dog on a lead is welcome too!
Parking at the back (on harbour edge) is free - just stay clear of the Staff Only parks.
