NZ Football along with other smaller FIFA members are able to finance their programs thanks to the millions of dollars being dished out by FIFA to help with the pandemic situation.
NZ Football have been pretty quiet about it but they've received $US 1 million from FIFA for all expenses plus $US 500,000 for women's football (as have all FIFA members) at the beginning of the year.
Hence the All Whites should be pretty active with friendlies in most FIFA windows now.
Costs for the Oceania qualifying tournament mooted for March in Qatar should not be a problem to the Oceania countries.

FIFA are awarding millions of dollars to all member countries and confederations to help cope with the pandemic situation.:
"a grant of USD 2 million and a loan of up to USD 4 million were made available to each confederation....
To each member country: a universal solidarity grant of USD 1 million, and an additional grant of USD 500,000 allocated specifically to women’s football. The full amount would be made available by January 2021.... and interest-free loans amounting to up to 35% of their audited annual revenues. In the interests of solidarity, a loan entitlement of between USD 500,000 and USD 5 million was made available."
