Description

The New Zealand national football team, nicknamed the All Whites , is the national team of New Zealand and is controlled by New Zealand Football.

It has reached the World Cup Finals only once, in 1982, but lost all three games. Because of the lack of a high-quality domestic league, most talented New Zealand footballers ply their trade in the higher-class leagues of Europe, the United States, and Australia.

New Zealand usually battled Australia for top honours in the OFC. They won the OFC Nations Cup three times, in 1973, 1998, and 2002. The white strip was originally based on the colour of England's strip and name is in contrast with the rugby union team, the All Blacks.
