Following consultation with representatives from across football, the men's #NZNationalLeague regulations for U-20 players are going to be changing.
— New Zealand Football (@NZ_Football) November 8, 2022
From 2023, U-20 players will need to account for at least 10% of a clubs available playing minutes.
990 playing minutes per team, per game. So the U20 players from each squad would need to play, on average at least 99 minutes per match.
Giving each club a requirement of a minimum of 1782 minutes for the Central and Southern Leagues, and 2178 minutes in the Northern League - across the season.
If I've completely bottled this then someone let me know. 😅
