Its just that on the FFA website they have under there national teams the Paralympic football squads (5 and 7 a side). I checked NZF website and there is nothing there at all. New Caledonia and PnG also support Paralympic football squads so why would NFZ ignore it?.

I believe its government funded but needs to be approved by NZF, Maybe like some members on this forum (and admins) they feel ashamed to mention it along side the 11 a side game " a la micky mouse".


The Pararoos are 100% funded externally from the FFA. I imagine NZF would only consider a Paralympic side under the same circumstances.

WRONG - Where did you dig that info up from a serial box?. 

From there (Paralympic) website "We receive financial support from the Australian Government, some State and Territory Governments, our corporate partners and sponsors plus fund raising, this does not cover all costs associated with supporting the Australian Paralympic Football Teams and our ongoing sport and community program".

Only thing FFA almost fully fund is the paralympic national league.
