With the Women's World Cup coming up i doubt NZF would want to waste any money on the AW, I think all the funding will go towards getting the Ferns up to standard. I could be wrong but NZF do have a history of neglect.

You are off the mark.

NZF have an International Teams Fund. This fund is used to fund all the programs for mens/womens international teams, incl age group. Including the Football Ferns.

I undersand cash reserves in this fund are almost entirely made up of the $10M ($USD?) NZF got from FIFA when AWs made the 2010 WC, plus another large windfall NZF received when they sold 2013 AWs v Mexico TV rights to Mexico TV station(s). ie it's been windfalls related to the AWs that have largely funded international football male & female, last 10 odd years.

Read somewhere that NZF are nervous that if AWs don't make Qatar and/or there is no large TV rights deal again for next years intercontinental playoffs, that fund could run to empty until AWs get virtual automatic entry to a bloated 48 team WC in 2026.

So imagine NZF will be very keen to give AWs every chance to make Qatar. Plus they hopefully know this exciting group of male footballers, stand a real shot if they draw an AFC or CONCACAF opponent. Less so if the 5th team from South America. When is the intercontinental playoff draw being made out of interest?

Lastly between early Nov 2017 (2nd Peru playoff game) and June 2019 (last Womens World Cup), the AWs played a grand total of 4 games. In the same time period, in qualifying & lead up to that WWC the Ferns played 18 games (admittedly incl 5 OFC walkovers). Yet with that pretty good program by NZ standards (minus the Heraf saga), they still lost all 3 games at the 2019 WWC. They can have no qualms, if they are a sideline act now to the AWs leading into 2022.

I'd be surprised and very disappointed if there are no AWs friendlies in Oct and/or Nov FIFA windows. NZF did show some intent with the confirmed games against England and Belgium late last year. Covid sadly ruined that plan.
