Wow,this is a big deal for NZ! 
What a fantastic goal to aim for, for our junior footballers coming through.Playing for NZ in a Football World Cup in NZ. As host nation we will qualify i guess. Does that give Oceania another team spot also?
Here's hoping The Whole of Football plan will enable NZ to deliver a team that competes well in this.

yea i was checking the age group so its the 1993's for this tournament.
all i can gather about this age group is that united soccer 1 (northern football) won every year in the napier tournaments never lost the comp, so dont know who the players from there are? must be some standouts for sure then who are playing high football now

yeeha!!
I was not a big fan of the idea of the new stadium, but suddenly, all is forgiven! I had not long shifted to Wellington when the U17 WC was on, so missed the games being played in Dunedin at that time- which, I understand, were very well supported. This is gonna be huge, and surely Dunedin will get to host a group.
Brilliant.
Now, if only I could roll back the clock 25 years, and actually develop some useful football skills, I could dream the dream!

Dont Oceania have a direct qualifying path for age group events? I hope so, would mean two Oceania teams for once

awesomest news ive heard all day.
international U20s should be a pretty good quality of football, and the age group games tend to be more exciting and attacking than full internationals, a great opportunity to get more kiwis into the beautiful game.

Yes an extra team. That is the case with the 2011 world cup (colombia has the host).

Was very pleased that we got it, and surprised at the lack of competition for doing so. Only Wales, Peru and Tunisia?

Its great, and lets hope the Phoenix will have a fair few players to contribute!!

I would much rather fly to Dunedin for a final at this ground than fly to Auckland, thats for sure

Great news!
What is the capacity for this new stadium in Dunedin by the way? It looks nice, shame it will mostly be wasted on egg-ball I guess.

That Dunedin stadium looks cool. Is it a bit like an awning over your back yard? [larger scale of course] Canvas type roofing from those stands on the left over to what looks like a stand with facilities included.
