Oops.
New Zealand’s national men’s and women’s football leagues will be held this year, but it remains to be seen who will be involved and what form they will take.
The governing body said on Wednesday it had received $900,000 from Sport NZ to support those competitions and its national futsal leagues, but offered few details except to say the timing of them would be confirmed later this month.
Exactly which teams will take part is still to be determined, with entry fees and formats in the process of being finalised. The support from Sport NZ should help ease some financial burdens, but many of the clubs, franchises, and regional federations that comprise the two leagues were already struggling before the pandemic hit.
