Auckland's A-League team hasn't played a match yet, but they've found themselves in the public eye.
During Saturday's Phoenix game at Eden Park, a pitch invader sporting an Auckland FC jersey dashed onto the field.
Rumours are swirling, but Eden Park boss Nick Sautner is denying involvement with this stunt.
"Encouraging that sort of activity has the ability to compromise their future aspirations for their team- and we're all about family-friendly environments and ensuring the safety of the players."
