You don't throw away all the benefits of being in easy (very easy in female football) OFC WC qualifying, just over blowout scores for various womens/girls teams - that are basically forgotten about in 2 weeks.
Moving to AFC has been debated a million times & they don't want us.
SE Asian AFC countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand etc could be interested in joining OFC age group WC qualifying. That would give NZ teams genuine tough games, but seriously put at risk going to WCs. And how does FIFA allow that to happen over 2 different Confederations. As always it's complicated.
