Need to read through the rule book on that, anyone know where we can find it?? I’d imagine it would be a narrow window though.
7.4.6 If NZF has any doubt as to the eligibility of any player taking part in this competition, it shall be the Regional Association’s, or where appropriate the NZSSFA’s, responsibility to determine the eligibility of players, and failing satisfactory proof, NZF may disqualify such player, or competing team from the competition or impose such other penalty as it may deem fit.
21.1 Matters not provided for in these regulations and cases of force majeure shall be decided by NZF. All decisions shall be final.
No date that I can see, but NZF could hypothetically make a ruling on that under 21.1
