That's not a surprise. 

It would at least be something to have a quad tournament here, with Aussie and some SE Asian teams. If the Wallabies can get here to play rugby, there's a precedent. Use local and Australian based players, call it NZ 'A' if need be. 

Give up on playing in Europe for now. 

Every FIFA window from March next year right up until early 2022, the Socceroos and other AFC teams, will be trying to cram in all their various AFC World Cup qualifying games.

Losing these Euro games (Belgium & England), is sadly a big blow re AWs build up for intercontinental playoffs June 2022. Getting some quality friendlies between now and then as preparation ain't going to be easy.  

A full strength AWs team has basically played 1 game together (Ireland) in the last 3 years. And who knows when they will next all meet up.
