Football fever is about to hit Auckland like we’ve never seen before. 

Auckland FC is hosting the Grand Final at Go Media Stadium against Sydney FC on Saturday. 

It’s the first time New Zealand has hosted an A‑League decider, and the city is on the brink of a huge sporting moment. 

Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB’s Weekend Sport host Jason Pine is with us to talk about how Auckland FC has reached meteoric heights, and what this final could mean for football in New Zealand.
