Southern Football, formerly FootballSouth, is one of six federations of New Zealand Football, representing regions of South Canterbury, Waitaki, Dunedin, Central Otago, Clutha and Southland
History
[edit]Southern United, formerly Soccersouth until 2007, was founded in 2002, to represent the region for the New Zealand Women's National League from its inaugural season in 2002 onwards.[1]
Southern United, formerly Otago United until 2013, was founded in 2004 as a conglomerate of various Otago area clubs, in order to form a strong team to take part in the New Zealand Football Championship, run on a regional franchise basis, and Southern United became one of the eight competing teams.[2] In 2021, the league was replaced by New Zealand National League for more of a club based competition, causing the Southern United Men's Team to dissolve.[3][4]
