Dibley-Dias has largely played as a No 6 at the base of a midfield trio for the Fulham under-21s this season, a role Joe Bell occupies for the All Whites, though he could play further forward as a No 8, like Matt Garbett and Marko Stamenic have in New Zealand’s recent matches.

Dibley-Dias has largely played as a No 6 at the base of a midfield trio for the Fulham under-21s this season, a role Joe Bell occupies for the All Whites, though he could play further forward as a No 8, like Matt Garbett and Marko Stamenic have in New Zealand’s recent matches.
The full All Whites squad for October’s friendlies is expected to be announced next week, with Wood in line to play his first matches this year after being absent due to injury in March and June, and Sarpreet Singh set to be involved for the first time since January 2022.
Former Football Ferns coach Tony Readings was announced this week as a full-time assistant to Bazeley for the 2026 World Cup cycle. He will be joined by Elliott, who will remain a part-time assistant based in California, where he is director of coaching at Davis Legacy Soccer Club.
Wellington Phoenix head of youth development Rory Fallon is set to no longer be involved in the immediate future, though Bazeley was hopeful of finding ways for him to contribute as a position coach down the line. Glen Moss remains the first-choice goalkeeping coach and talks are ongoing with A-League Men club Macarthur FC, where he holds the same role, about his availability.
