New Zealand will be making their 3rd appearance at the FIFA World Cup in the 2026 edition hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. The All Whites return to the global stage after their previous appearances in 1982 and 2010, where they competed in the group stage.
Drawn into Group G alongside Belgium, Egypt, and Iran, New Zealand begin their campaign with an opening match scheduled for 15 June 2026. Known for their resilience and team spirit, they will aim to make a strong impression against higher-ranked opposition.
With a squad that emphasises organisation, discipline, and collective effort, New Zealand arrive with determination and ambition. As the tournament unfolds across North America, the All Whites will look to challenge expectations and create memorable moments on football’s biggest stage.
