Seems nz football are also thinking we need to find some more players. Add g to the Waine talk, I think he’s got the skills and right now him and McCowart are the natural guys to replace Wood, and Wood is a perfect example of the road block Waine is in now, Wood for NewCastle couldn’t get game time, didn’t score when he did get minutes, change of club and manager and boom…… I think Waine just needs that manager that believes in him and plays to his strengths to get the best out of himIMG_7234.jpeg1.27 MB
From the NZF site; "Every player representing the country — at either age group or senior level, in football or futsal — must hold a current New Zealand passport. A permanent resident visa is not sufficient, even if you’ve lived in the country for many years.
You must also demonstrate your connection to Aotearoa. This can be through being born here, having a parent or grandparent born here, or having lived here for over five years."
So......do people only need to have lived here for 5 years, apply for (and get) a passport, and then Bob's yer Uncle? Is it that simple?
Yes but they have to be over the age of 21 I think (could be younger). See Durante.
