The founders of the club then saw the need for a football club in Auckland to provide players of Fijian origin and chose Mangere as a suitable location due to the concentration of Fijian Indian's in the area. The founders of the Club are Mr Mohammed Imran (president), Mr James Kado (secretary), Mr Patrick Herman (former manager) and Mr Ramu Prasad (former coach).
