Waterside Karori AFC is an association football club in Karori, a suburb of Wellington, New Zealand. They currently play in the Capital Football Central League.
History
Waterside Karori was formed in 1987 when Karori Swifts merged with Waterside. These two clubs had contrasting origins: Swifts were founded in 1894 from a Sunday School, and Waterside were founded in 1921 by dock workers. The current Waterside Karori club is still nicknamed Wharfies.
Waterside were originally based at Kaiwharawhara at Wellington's waterfront, a location still used by Waterside Karori. Waterside was a successful club at a national level in New Zealand in the 1930s and 1940s, winning the Chatham Cup in 1938, 1939, 1940 and 1947. However, the club was damaged by the wider effects of the 1951 waterfront strike and took years to recover.
Swifts were initially itinerant but settled in Karori in 1950, changing their name to Karori Swifts in the 1960s.
At the time of the merger, Waterside had sponsorship and was playing in the National League, but had a relatively small player base. Swifts, on the other hand, had a large player base, both senior and junior, but lacked top-level success. The merged club adopted the Waterside strip of black and white vertical stripes with the maroon Swifts strip being retained as a second strip.
In 2004 it became one of the founding principal clubs of the Team Wellington franchise in the New Zealand Football Championship.
Waterside Karori's home ground is located in the picturesque suburb of Karori, providing a beautiful backdrop for their matches. The team's colors are blue and white, symbolizing unity and strength on the field.
The club prides itself on its inclusive and welcoming atmosphere, with a focus on community involvement and youth development programs. Waterside Karori is not just a soccer team, but a tight-knit family of players, coaches, and supporters who share a love for the beautiful game.
With a history of success and a bright future ahead, Waterside Karori continues to be a force to be reckoned with in New Zealand soccer. Whether competing in local leagues or national tournaments, this team always gives their all and represents their community with pride and passion.
