Thursday, 14 May 2026 - The 26 players who will represent  New Zealand at the FIFA World Cup 2026 have been named. Announced at Eden Park Stadium in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, the venue where the team qualified in March 2025. "Firstly, it is a privilege to be in this role and name a squad for the FIFA World Cup, the pinnacle of the game and the dream of everyone who plays" says head coach Darren Bazeley. "We have spent the last few years building to this moment and tracking around 55 players in contention to make it on to the plane to Canada, Mexico, the USA. As a coaching team, we have selected a squad that we feel will put us in the best place to perform, a blend of really exciting young talent and experienced players to maximise our chances of winning games and getting out of our group. This is never going to be an easy process, and the responsibility isn’t lost on us, but I’m confident we have landed on the best possible squad to face IR Iran, Egypt, Belgium, and beyond. Now the time for discussions is over, we need to head to the tournament and take the opportunity in front of us to make history for New Zealand."

Tuesday, 2 June 2026 - Haiti 4 New Zealand 0 - The All Whites were defeated 4-0 by Haiti in their first 2026 FIFA World Cup warm up match in Fort Lauderdale. The game was played in humid conditions, was delayed by half an hour due to lightening strikes in the vicinity of Chase Stadium. The delayed friendly started in a lively fashion for Haiti, who after a few warning shots, managed to open the scoring in the 11th minute through Ruben Providence. The forward delicately lifted the ball over an on rushing Alex Paulsen from a tight angle. But New Zealand did not let the bad start deter them as they responded strongly after going down through a flurry of chances. One of the most eye catching goal scoring opportunities to fall the All Whites way was through Chris Wood, whose acrobatic bicycle kick effort after a corner, was saved on the line by the Hatian goalkeeper Johny Placide. Tim Payne would be in the thick of one of the matches’ more controversial moments. The defender had a penalty appeal waved away by the referee despite his protests of being clipped by Haiti’s goalkeeper Johny Placide after chasing down a chipped through ball behind the Haitian defence. The penalty shout signalled New Zealand’s best period of the match as they dominated possession for large parts of the first half and looked dangerous on set pieces. It culminated in the best chance of an All Whites goal in the 33rd minute when Marko Stamenic’s guided header was palmed away by Haiti’s Johny Placide to ensure his side's 1-0 lead at halftime. All Whites coach Darren Bazeley made wholesale changes at the break as he gave minutes to the Kiwi bench. The change in personnel couldn’t prevent Haiti from doubling their lead shortly after the break, as Lenny Joseph latched onto a pinpoint pass, bouncing off the scrambling Kiwi defenders to calmly slot home Haiti’s second in the 51st minute. Things went from bad to worse for the All Whites at the start of the second half, as Haiti added a third through the head of Frantzdy Pierrot in the 62nd minute, raising the roof at Chase Stadium in Miami. Further substitutions from Darren Bazeley tried to breathe new life into the All Whites but it did little to dent Haiti’s defence as the Caribbean side grew in confidence. Haiti added their fourth and final goal in the 87th minute through Duke Lacroix as his curling effort from the edge of the box sealed the result in Fort Lauderdale.
