Welcome to the Roslyn Wakari Football Club

Roslyn Wakari is one of NZ's oldest football clubs. Established in 1888 we were one of the founding clubs in Otago. Queens Birthday weekend 2013 we are celebrating our 125th Jubilee and we invite all former members to get in touch. (link "125" at bottom of page)

The club is also one of Otago's largest football clubs. s. .        During the 2012 season we had a membership of 450 players. This comprised of 10 Senior men’s teams, 3 Women’s teams, 1 Youth grade team and 24 Junior teams. A Roslyn Wakari team, sometimes two, competed in every grade of Dunedin's competitions.  We have won the annual Hanlon Shield a record 18 times (5 times in the previous 9 seasons). This is an award presented by Football South to the top overall performing Football Club in Otago. 

Our men’s 1st team competes in the Federation 7 Premier Divison and finished 3rd. We last won the men’s premier grade back in 2003. Our Women’s 1st team have won the Women’s Premier league 5 times in the past 5 seasons and are the current 2012 champions.

National recognition for RWAFC players has included nine All Whites while playing for Roslyn. The club supplied four players in the original 1904 New Zealand team.

The club’s objective has always been to promote the enjoyment of playing football across all ages, and welcome all enquires from like minded people wishing to join us.

Our home, Ellis Park, has three competition grounds, two specialist training areas and an indoor gymnasium. The clubrooms were refurbished in 2009 and now boasts first class bar and food facilities. (available for Hire).
