No idea what the partnership actually means in a practical sense, but nice to see this sort of collaboration.  NZ too small a football talent pool for it not to happen. And Pragnell showing the Nix some love, not just Auckland.

Sounds like FIFA are involved somehow.

With U17 World Cups moving to an annual program, maybe the goal is to get most/all of the NZ's promising footballers into either the Weenix or new Auckland pro club academies by age 16. So preparing the players to better perform at these under age WCs.

As part of the partnership there will be additional scholarship positions at the Wellington Phoenix academy for Kiwi talent, and steps to align the development pathway for players from the domestic game to the A-Leagues and beyond.

The partnership is agreed for an initial two-year term and comes into effect immediately.
