Auckland City, the only non-professional team at the Club World Cup, prepares to face powerhouse clubs like Bayern Munich and Benfica. The squad, made up of part-time players who juggle jobs in various fields, recognizes the significance of this opportunity. Striker Angus Kilkolly reflects on the unique experience, emphasizing that they are representing not only their club but also Oceania. Despite the challenge ahead, the team is energized and excited about competing against top-tier talent they usually admire from afar.
This opportunity might not come around again, so all the people around us know how major this event is and how much of an opportunity it is to play in it.
When the draw got made we were all ecstatic, it's a dream for us. These are teams we're used to watching in the Champions League.
