WaiBOP United (known as Waikato FC until 2013) was a football club based in Hamilton, New Zealand. The club was founded in 2004 and disbanded in 2016 and played in the ASB Premiership. WaiBOP United played their home fixtures at John Kerkhof Park, Cambridge.[1] The club's social media accounts are now inactive.[2]
The club was the regional representative for Waikato-Bay of Plenty Football, and also played home fixtures in Rotorua and Mount Maunganui, both in the Bay of Plenty region. Between 2008 and 2010, Waikato FC was based at Centennial Park in Ngāruawāhia, and before that, played at Waikato Stadium.
From the 2014–15 season, the club changed its colours and kit to predominantly red and blue to better represent both Waikato and Bay of Plenty.[3] HT
