Having to participate in far flung AFC tourneys would drain NZF’s coffers. It’s a big financial cost to Football Australia. WWC qualifying in AFC like the mens, may even be a expensive full H&A program with different Groups??

Though yes some new Asian-NZ sponsors may appear. I remember NZ Basketball signed a nice new sponsor, when they joined Asia for Asian Cup/FIBA World Cup qualifying 

But huge negative would be making WC qualifying for AWs sooo much harder, and putting that potential $16M payday at much bigger risk. Makes zero financial sense for NZF to do that.

With that WC cash NZF can fund serious programs for all its international teams, and likely pump some extra into domestic football. Without it NZF would have to operate a pared back program, including AWs


I  think the football federations receive a lot of money from tv rights when participating in the senior men's qualifiers. All the age groups and women's qualifying is based on centralized tournaments so nothing changes, plus NZ played most of their games in the middle east so they could always play their home games somewhere neutral, if it costs too much to fly everyone into New Zealand.

But nothing remotely close to the cash qualifying World Cup nations receive. That's $NZ16,500,000.00 for Qatar.

AWs could easily be bundled out of first stage AFC World Cup qualifying (ie fail to make the top 2-3 teams in their pool 1st stage), and doubt the TV rights cash would be big for say a pool of Laos, Bahrain, Oman, Kyrgyzstan & Jordan for example. As above the AWs are only FIFA ranked about 19th on a combined AFC & OFC list. Asia would not be easy at all.
