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.

Be prepared for upcoming roadworks
SH1 Transmission Gully works until mid-February, weather permitting.
There’s no roadworks for the holiday break from Friday 19 December, and all lanes will be fully open. Contractors are back to work on Monday 5 January, at night. Plan ahead for lane closures, night-time road closures and speed restrictions until mid-February. When the highway is closed, detours are via State Highway 59 and State Highway 58.
Chip-seal works begin in early January, so drivers must do 30km/h to prevent flying chip that can damage vehicles.
