New Zealand World Cup 2026 Tickets
Overview
New Zealand enters the 2026 World Cup with trademark discipline and collective spirit. The All Whites prioritize defensive solidity, set‑pieces, and direct attacks. The mission is to compete for every minute and squeeze value from every detail.
Their World Cup story features 1982 and a 2010 group stage unbeaten (three draws), with leaders like Ryan Nelsen and Shane Smeltz. That legacy of sacrifice and structure defines New Zealand at the top level.
For 2026, experts view them as awkward underdogs. With Chris Wood, Liberato Cacace, and Sarpreet Singh, they blend a target striker, wide running, and creativity. If they maximize second balls and set‑plays, they could surprise more than a few.
