Maniototo Rugby Club president Tim O’Neill said the club bought the barely used equipment following the Fifa event with funds raised in June at the club’s 25th jubilee celebrations.
It would be stored at the Maniototo Area School to be used by the school and all of the community, he said.
"It’s a good opportunity for us to give back to the community ... We’ve got a few players that desperately need it — some of them to add a bit of weight and some of them to drop a bit."
All Fifa women’s teams based in New Zealand made a series of site visits across the country to choose their preferred training locations.
The Swiss team selected Dunedin as their base and did most of their training at Tahuna Park.
They played two matches in the city including the opening match.
They bought their own training equipment to use while in the city, including weights, exercise bikes, mats and balls.
Maniototo Area School deputy secondary principal Nikki Meyer said having access to the top-quality equipment would be an asset for all the school’s sports teams.
The school had a wide range of sports teams, from curling to hockey to cricket.
"We actually don’t have a football team yet but you never know ... we didn’t have a hockey team for 20 years and we’ve had one for the last four."
Fifa and the Dunedin City Council had given tickets for the match between South Africa and Argentina to all the girls at the school and paid for their travel to the game, she said.
"It was amazing ... we took 28 girls down, it was pretty cool."
Head girl Kassidy Pont said there was no gym in Ranfurly and a lot of the pupils were keen on getting fit and training for sport.
