About Oliver Sail

Born 1996. Oliver Sail is a New Zealand association football player.

Oliver Steven Edward "Oli" Sail is a New Zealand professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for A-League club Auckland FC and the New Zealand national football team.

Club career Auckland City In 2013, Sail joined Auckland City but wouldn't debut until the following year in the semi-final of the 2013–14 ASB Premiership, when he replaced Tamati Williams in Auckland City's 4–1 victory over its classic rival Waitakere United.

Wellington Phoenix Sail joined Wellington Phoenix to be part of their new reserves team playing in the ASB Premiership.

On 3 March 2017, Sail signed his first senior contract, penning a two-year deal with Wellington Phoenix.

On 25 March 2018, Sail made his A-League debut against Brisbane Roar in a 2–2 draw.

Sail had a wait of 663 days between games before he saw another start for the Phoenix after not playing at all during the 2019-2020 season, getting the start in a 2–2 draw against Western Sydney Wanderers. He then went on to record successive clean sheets against the Newcastle Jets and Perth Glory as well as man of the match honours, helping a resurgent Phoenix claim back-to-back victories for the first time in a year.

Perth Glory 6 days after Sail's impending departure from Wellington was made public, it was announced that Sail would join Perth Glory for the 2023-24 season as he signed a three-year contract.

On 18 August 2025, the Glory would announce Sail's departure from the club.

Auckland FC

On 18 August 2025, it was announced that Sail would join Auckland FC. Sail would feature for the Auckland FC Reserves twice during the National League campaign, keeping a clean sheet in a 3–0 win over Birkenhead United.

On 31 January 2026, Sail made his A-League debut against his former club Perth Glory in a 2–1 loss; however, his appearance was short-lived after he was stretchered off with a knee injury, which Steve Corica later confirmed was a ruptured tendon.

International career U-20 Though Sail was picked for the New Zealand U-17 team in 2013, he didn't get on the pitch.

Senior In 2014, Sail was called up to New Zealand's senior squad for two friendlies against China and Thailand, but he was unused in both matches.
