American Samoa’s Jaiyah Saelua, 35, the first openly transgender player to compete in a World Cup qualifier, said Rongen really changed the dynamic of the team.

As to be expected, the movie has the Taika effect and is set to be a great bit of comedy as well as some facts on the game for the whole family.
To support this event, ticket purchases can be made through the merchandise tab on the club website teawamutuafc.co.nz.
There’s a short supporters’ registration part and then the chance to buy several tickets. Tickets are $20 per person.

The screening will start at 6pm at the Te Awamutu Regent Theatre.
