AUCKLAND, Today: The Wellington Phoenix were among the standout winners at The Post Gold Awards 2024, taking home the Vibrant Gold category, which honours top businesses in Wellington’s events, hospitality, and tourism sectors.
Marketing manager Emma Rogers accepted the award on behalf of the Phoenix at the Embassy Theatre on Thursday night. “It has been an incredible 12 months for the club and it’s very humbling to be recognised amongst the best of the best of the region’s businesses,” Rogers said.

The first teams are coming off their best-ever seasons, the academy is leading the way in developing the next generation of Kiwi footballers, and our award-winning Football For All programme now helps more than two thousand tamariki and rangatahi play futsal or football in Aotearoa.
