Are you suggesting FIFA/OFC are better to pay the $25M licence fee to set up a Sth Island A League franchise?

An ALM club giving out say 25 pro contracts, the majority of which would just be Kiwis

When this new OFC League will have around 100 Island players on pro contracts. That’s based on there being 5 non NZ/Aus teams in the comp

But yes with time hopefully NZ does get a 3rd A League club, based in ChCh. It however will need to be privately funded, and that won’t be easy to put together. Just look at Canberra

Walk before you can run and all that
