Internationally football is the world’s most popular game and the national sport of the majority of the World’s countries. Here in New Zealand, football is one of the biggest participation sports. It is popular with males and females across all age groups and unlike many other sports which are facing declining numbers, football continues to grow.

Sport New Zealand recognises that sport and recreation organisations are part of the social fabric and provide great opportunities for all New Zealanders to take part in physical activity and to stay healthy. With such a broad and passionate participation base football is clearly an excellent vehicle for involving people in sport and physical recreation, which in turn plays a vital role in the social, cultural and economic well-being of New Zealand.

New Zealand Football’s strategic plan outlines how football in New Zealand will contribute to creating health and social benefits for our players, coaches, referees, administrators and supporters. The strategy identifies four strategic goals to work towards:

1. Align our sport and lead the game.

2. Organisational and financial sustainability.

3. Grow the game.

4. Develop world class players.
