New Zealand national soccer team
Encyclopedia
The New Zealand national football team, nicknamed the All Whites, is the national association football team of New Zealand
and is governed by New Zealand Football (NZF). The team plays in an all-white strip rather than the traditional New Zealand sporting black due to a former FIFA regulation that reserved black for the international referee strip. Its nickname is also a play on the New Zealand national rugby union team, known as the All Blacks. The silver fern, a symbol of New Zealand, appears on the All Whites uniform.
The All Whites played in the 1982 FIFA World Cup
and the 2010 FIFA World Cup
. The 2010 New Zealand team is one of only eight in the history of the World Cup to have remained unbeaten through a World Cup Finals competition without winning the trophy.
Because most New Zealand football clubs are semi-professional
rather than fully professional, most top New Zealand footballers play abroad for clubs in Europe
, in the United States
, or in the Australian A-League
.
New Zealand formerly battled Australia for top honours in the Oceania Football Confederation
(OFC). This is no longer the case as Australia now plays in the Asian Football Confederation
(AFC), leaving New Zealand as the only seeded team in the OFC. New Zealand has won the OFC Nations Cup
four times – in 1973
, 1998
, 2002
and 2008
.
at the old Caledonian Ground
on 23 July 1904 against a team representing New South Wales. New Zealand lost by the game's only goal, but drew with the same team 3-3 in a game at Athletic Park, Wellington seven days later. The following year the team played a Wellington representative side on 10 June before embarking on a tour of Australia, during which they played eleven representative sides, including three "test matches" against New South Wales. Of these three matches they won one, lost one, and drew one.
A New Zealand national team did not play again until 1921, when New Zealand played three official full internationals against Australia, played at Carisbrook
in Dunedin, Athletic Park in Wellington, and Auckland Domain
. The results were two 3-1 wins to New Zealand and a 1-1 draw in Wellington.
, cricket
and rugby league
, financially and for media exposure. The performance of the national team is further hindered by a relatively young semi-professional domestic league, the New Zealand Football Championship
having been established in 2004. New Zealand has one professional team, Wellington Phoenix, which competes in the Australian A-League
.
Since the 1990s, United States college soccer
has played a significant role in the development of New Zealand players. This influence began when former Scotland international
Bobby Clark
returned to the U.S. after his 1994–96 stint as All Whites head coach to take the head coaching job at Stanford University
(he now holds the same position at Notre Dame
). Clark began recruiting in New Zealand, and current All Whites Ryan Nelsen
and Simon Elliott
played for him at Stanford. The trend that Clark started has continued to the present; more than two dozen New Zealanders are now playing for NCAA Division I men's programs in the U.S. A common next step in these players' career paths is a stint in Major League Soccer
; ESPNsoccernet
journalist Brent Latham speculated in a March 2010 story that the All Whites' 2010 FIFA World Cup
squad could have more MLS players than the U.S. squad
. However, Latham's speculation did not prove true, as only one MLS player made the New Zealand squad for the World Cup.
