We are thrilled to share that Oxford FC, have been selected as finalists in the New Zealand Sport & Recreation Awards 2024.

“These awards are a highlight each year, where we can celebrate with the sector the huge effort of so many people who are keeping New Zealanders physically active and positively impacting the wellbeing of our communities,” says Sport NZ Group Chief Executive Raelene Castle. 

“We are thrilled to recognise the mahi and achievements of those leading the way across the sector.” 

The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at the Aotea Centre in Auckland on Monday, 24 June, with 18 finalists shortlisted across six main category awards: Commercial Partnership, Community Impact, Environmental Sustainability, Leadership in Diversity and Inclusion, Jim Maniapoto Memorial Taonga for Excellence in Impacting Māori Participation as Māori, and Susie Simcock Future Leaders' Scholarship Finalists. 

The judging panel were highly impressed by the calibre of entries. “There was a record number of entries this year, showcasing the amazing work happening right across our sector. And the standard of the entries was incredible, making it hugely challenging for the judges to select only three finalists in each category,” says Raelene Castle. 

The work the three finalists within the Community Impact category have carried out within their communities is beyond impressive, so we are humbled to be shortlisted and recognised.
