Having read through the the
"How to improve the All Whites leading up to WC 2030?" thread in the All Whites section of the forum, I said I'd update my list of the national pool. Well I managed to update it thanks to four hours of having nothing to do at work tonight, so I thought I'd share it here just so people have a better idea of who is floating about.
I just want to add here that I have no affiliation to NZF, and I don't have inside access to any platforms or databases that help set me up to do this other than my own research, scouring online platforms and websites for referencing, and just general knowledge on the subject.
This list is by no means exhaustive ( I do what I can with limited resource, but I try and make sure it's as accurate as possible) and I'm sure there are many other names that can be added to this list given the big, and increasing kiwi expat populations in the USA, UK, Europe and Australia.
As always, feel free to add to the list (this also helps me!) And contest, query and question names as you please. It's basically just an evolving mess of names that will grow and contract as players move around and/or drop out of the game/retire.
This is a current list as of 5/7/26 at 9.30pm.
Just to note
• Updated list of NPL players based on the latest transfer windows closing. Have gone to NPL level, but not to state leagues, which is why I haven't included someone like Ryan Feutz.
• '*' denotes players that I am unsure on contractually, or haven't fully committed to New Zealand.
• Some contracted players - Alex Rufer are missing - He is out of contract, but it is just as easy to update this when contract details are finalized or a move eventuates for example.
• There are 3/4 names from Western United (mostly youth) that have not been included given the status of that club, and it's highly volatile future.
• OFC Pro League players have not been included in this unless it has been specifically stated they will be staying on past 2026 - Otto Ingham is the only one in this instance - I have a list of the players who where named in squads for the inaugural season, so if people want it, I can post that up too.
Enjoy.
