Nau mai ki te Wiki o te Reo Māori! | Welcome to Māori Language Week!
Every year since 1975, New Zealand has celebrated Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.
This year marks its 50th anniversary.
Join us in celebrating te Wiki from 14-20 September and honour the past, celebrate Aotearoa’s language and prepare for our future. Together.
Māori Football Aotearoa and New Zealand Football co-designed our recognition of te Wiki o te Reo Māori below.
During Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, we will share a different football theme in te Reo each day on our social channels, encouraging everyone to learn, try, and speak te Reo together.
The themes for the week are:
Sunday: Get behind your team
Monday: Parts of the game
Tuesday: Positions
Wednesday: Celebrations
Thursday: Objects
Friday: Things to Say at a Game
Saturday: Actions
Join us and get behind te Wiki o te Reo Māori to learn some new football words and phrases.
We will be sharing these themes on our Facebook and Instagram channels throughout the week.
