The New Zealand national football team, nicknamed the All Whites, is the national association football team of New Zealand and is controlled by New Zealand Football.

It played in the 1982 FIFA World Cup and on 14 November 2009 qualified for the 2010 finals. Because of the lack of a high-quality domestic league, most talented New Zealand footballers play their trade in the higher-class leagues of Europe or 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 play in the Asian Football Confederation, leaving New Zealand as the only seeded team left in OFC. New Zealand have won the OFC Nations Cup four times, in 1973, 1998, 2002 and 2008. The white strip was originally based on the colour of England's strip and name is in contrast with the rugby union team, the All Blacks.

[edit] Development

Despite its large player numbers, New Zealand football struggles to compete with other sports such as rugby union, rugby league and cricket, 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, who compete in the Australian A-League.

The best known current players are Blackburn Rovers defender Ryan Nelsen, former Roda JC defender Ivan Vicelich, Gold Coast United striker Shane Smeltz, Celtic striker Chris Killen and Plymouth Argyle striker Rory Fallon. Several young players have shown promise in breaking through into the senior side, including Tampere United midfielder Chris James, North Queensland Fury midfielder Jeremy Brockie, and West Bromwich Albion striker Chris Wood.

[edit] Major tournament participation

[edit] Confederation Cup

New Zealand has competed in three Confederations Cups, in Mexico 1999, France 2003 and South Africa 2009. In each of these tournaments, the All Whites failed to progress past the first round. At the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup New Zealand gained their first point at a FIFA tournament with a draw against Iraq. New Zealand has scored a total of two goals in the tournaments and has gained one point.

[edit] 1999

New Zealand made their first apperance in the FIFA Confederations Cup in Mexico, in 1999. New Zealand qualified for the competition by defeating Australia 1-0 in the 1998 OFC Nations Cup. New Zealand were drawn into Group B with World Cup winners Brazil, USA, and Germany. New Zealand failed to win a match and their only goal was against USA through Chris Zoricich in the 93rd minute.

[edit] 2003

New Zealand made their second appearance in the Confederations Cup in France, in 2003. New Zealand qualified after defeating Australia in the 2002 OFC Nations Cup final through a 78th minute goal from captain Ryan Nelsen. New Zealand was drawn into Group A with hosts France, Colombia, and Japan. New Zealand lost their first match against Japan 3-0. New Zealand scored their only goal of the competition in a loss against Colombia when Raf de Gregorio got the ball past Oscar Cordoba. New Zealand then suffered their largest loss of the competition against France 5-0.

[edit] 2009

New Zealand made their third appearance in the Confederations Cup in South Africa, in 2009. New Zealand qualified through winning the 2008 OFC Nations Cup. New Zealand striker Shane Smeltz played a large part in New Zealand winning the OFC Nations Cup by scoring eight goals, winning the competition's Golden Boot award. Smeltz scored in five of New Zealand's six matches. New Zealand were drawn in Group A in South Africa along with UEFA Euro 2008 champions and world number one Spain, hosts South Africa, and 2007 AFC Asian Cup winners Iraq. New Zealand played three friendly matches leading up to the competition which included a 4-3 loss to Italy where they led the match on three occasions through goals from Shane Smeltz and Chris Killen. New Zealand's first match against Spain didn't start well as Liverpool FC striker Fernando Torres scored a hatrick within the first 20 minutes. Torres went on to win the Man of the Match award. Goals from Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas and Valencia FC striker David Villa completed Spains 5-0 win over New Zealand. New Zealand lost their second match against South Africa 2-0 with man of the match Bernard Parker scoring a double. New Zealand drew their final match against Iraq 0-0, which gained New Zealand their first ever point in a major FIFA competition.

[edit] 1982

New Zealand has competed in one FIFA World Cup, in Spain, in 1982. They qualified for this tournament through a long process, winning the Oceania Qualification group then playing in a five-team round-robin tournament against teams from Asia. This tournament resulted in China and New Zealand being tied for a qualification place. A sudden-death play-off in Singapore led to New Zealand qualifying for the tournament.

In Spain, New Zealand played three matches, against Brazil, the Soviet Union, and Scotland. New Zealand lost all three games, with scores of 0–4, 0–3, and 2–5 respectively.

[edit] 2010

New Zealand has qualified for its second World Cup, to be held in South Africa, in 2010. The draw, held on 4th December 2009 in Cape Town, South Africa, saw New Zealand be grouped with defending champions Italy, Paraguay and Slovakia. They are currently regarded as rank outsiders to win the tournament with some bookmakers offering 3000-1 odds.[1]

New Zealand's first challenge in their qualifing campaign was the OFC Nations Cup. New Zealand won five out of the six games in the OFC Nations Cup and there only loss was against Fiji where Roy Krishna scored a double[1]

After winning the Oceania Qualification group, they needed to defeat the 5th-placed AFC nation, Bahrain. Bahrain had earlier defeated Saudi Arabia on the away goals rule after drawing 2-2 in Riyadh to earn a place in this play-off.

New Zealand first went to Manama to play their away fixture against Bahrain. New Zealand and Bahrain drew the match 0-0.

On 14 November 2009, New Zealand qualified for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa after defeating Bahrain 1-0 in the second leg of their tie in front of a New Zealand record crowd in Wellington, thanks to a goal from Rory Fallon in the 45th minute and a Mark Paston penalty save early in the second half.[2]

[edit] OFC Nations Cup

New Zealand have competed in every OFC Nations Cup since the tournament was established in 1973, when New Zealand both hosted and won the competition. The All Whites have won the Nations Cup four times, including the most recent tournament (2008 OFC Nations Cup).
