Chairman’s Report
We have had another exciting and busy 2015 which has seen us
continue to successfully implement changes to our game. Following the changes last year to the NZ Football constitution we have
now completed changes to the Federations constitution which will
now align with that of NZ Football and will be in force from 2016.
QUALITY CLUB MARK
NFF has continued to be supportive of our clubs adopting the
Quality Club Mark and this year has seen a further 6 clubs attain
the accreditation taking the total to 13 clubs in total with a further
6 clubs currently working towards their Level 1.
We have a new FIFA President Gianni Infantino who is committed
to the introduction of a reform package that includes a newly
created 36-member FIFA council replacing the old 24-member
executive committee and also includes term limits for the
President, background checks on top officials, publication of
leaders’ salaries and oversight by an independent audit and
compliance committee with the power to raise red flags about
wrongdoing. We see the new reforms as a critical step in the
forward progress of the global game.
FINANCIALS
We are pleased to report once again that our financial position
is in positive, with the Federation recording a modest surplus of
$27,831 for 2015, and I would like to thank the management and
Board Members on the Audit and Risk Committee for all of the
work they have put in this year to ensure this position remains
stable and positive. The Board and management are focused on
ensuring that the financial position of the Federation is sustainable
for the future.
FOOTBALL
We were privileged to have this year hosted the FIFA U-20 World
Cup and have our two venues in Whangarei and North Harbour
looking so great and being so well supported by the local
community. We congratulate all concerned with putting on a
spectacular event from the organisers, teams who took part and
most importantly the team of many volunteers who worked
tirelessly throughout the 4 weeks.
HONOURS
We would like to congratulate all of our junior and senior men’s
and women’s teams who were successful in winning their
competitions this year and in particular we would like to
congratulate our ASB Women’s League team who were
successful in regaining the title last held in 2012.
On the home front the team have continued to roll out the Whole
of Football Plan and we will turn our attention to focus on the key
objectives from the newly adopted New Zealand Football strategic plan. The CEO has outlined some of the key objectives in his
report but the headline ”More New Zealanders Playing and Loving
Football” is something we are all striving to achieve.
We saw the game feature more prominently on Sky TV over recent
months with the televising of this years ASB Premiership. We look
forward to that continuing as we also see changes to the Premiership structure next season with 2 new clubs having been accepted
taking the total from 8 to 10 teams.
It is pleasing that our player numbers continue to grow, up by 10%
from 2013, and we are now seeing alternatives to the traditional
game such as Futsal also starting to have the effect of attracting
new players to the game. Growth in the junior game is excellent
at over 30% for both boys and girls however we all have more
work to do to retain current players and attract new players at the
youth level.

Thomas Hoey Northern Football Federation Chairman
Congratulations are also in order for the Glenfield Rovers Women’s
and Birkenhead United’s U19 sides who both claimed back-toback championships as well Birkenhead United Senior Men’s team
for reaching the Semi-Finals of the ASB Chatham Cup!
THANK YOU’S
I would like to formerly recognise and thank all of the club boards
and managers who put in considerable hours for no financial
reward to ensure that the game that we all love continues to grow
and succeed.
Also this applies to the many volunteers and parents who coach,
manage, referee, organise training and games and act as the taxi
service so that all of our young and not so young players can enjoy
the game.
Finally I would like to thank all of my fellow Board Members for
their outstanding contribution over the past twelve months.
Simply without all of your valued contribution our game would not
function each week so thank you.
Chief Executive’s Report
It was a privilege that my first full year as CEO should coincide
with New Zealand hosting the FIFA U-20 World Cup and that NFF
had two host cities within our region. We must also congratulate
our Football Development Manager, Darren Bazeley, who as Head
Coach of the New Zealand Team saw his charges create history
being the first NZ side to win a match at a men’s world cup and
progress from the group stages.
Both North Harbour Stadium and Northland Events Centre were
stunning venues for some quality football. In total, 12 world class
games were on show across the two venues for clubs, players,
coaches and referees to enjoy. The excellent attendances, even
when the winter weather was at its worst, clearly demonstrated
that football in the NFF region is popular and vibrant here.
The legacy of the FIFA U-20 World Cup has seen both Whangarei
District Council and Auckland Council invest significant resources
into upgrading facilities. The upgrades include more sand-based
pitches and flood lights in place most notably the developments at
Kristin School in Albany, Auckland and Springs Flat in Whangarei.
We are extremely grateful to both Councils for their support of the
FIFA U-20 World Cup and their ongoing investment into football
facilities. We in turn must play our part in ensuring we look after
these facilities and assist the Councils in keeping them operational
throughout the year. Good management of facilities and ensuring we do not over use key pitches helps the Council, in essence
we are co-managers and guardians of the facilities alongside the
Councils.
2015 saw a number of NFF staff move onto new pastures; Andy
Boyens, Football Development Officer took on the responsibilities
as Youth Development Manager at New Zealand Football
(NZF), Annette Beard, IT Officer, retired; Jamie Cross, Referee
Development Officer (RDO) returned to Wellington as RDO at
Capital Football; and Alida Shanks, Marketing & Communications
Manager joined NZF as Commercial Manager. Darren Bazeley
returned to NFF as Football Development Manager following his
secondment to NZF as U-20 Coach for the FIFA U-20 World Cup;
Paul Greig, joined as Football Development Officer, Debora Marras,
as IT Officer and Mike Hadnett as Communications & Marketing
Manager.
NFF underwent an internal realignment creating three business
units Football Development, led by Darren Bazeley, Community
6
John Limna Chief Executive
Development led by Chris Smith Community Development
Manager and Operations, led by Mike Hadnett. Angelina LeeHussien took on more corporate responsibilities as the Operations
Executive and Aidan Wong joined as Football Development
Coordinator providing support across Football Development,
Competitions and Futsal. This new alignment will support NFFs
operations and help us target support either into Football or
Community Development initiatives. The Operations side will
establish a more cohesive approach to diversifying our revenue
streams and providing added value to clubs.
Our player numbers continue to grow steadily in the Junior and
Senior sectors, however it is the Youth space where we continue to
see a drop in numbers. This should not be surprising as Sport NZ
statistics indicate this trend is common across sports. However it
should not mean we just accept this. Youth players have reached
the transition in life where they start to become more independent
and have greater demands placed on their time. School, peer
groups, exams and other activities are all competing for time,
and young people simply make choices and reprioritise their
activities. Research indicates that time, cost, and the ability to
be with their friends are key to the decision making process. The
statistics indicate that our traditional approach does not appeal to
a significant number of these young people and they are moving
away from club football. The challenge facing us is to provide
alternatives to traditional football that helps keep young people
engaged and living a healthy lifestyle. Futsal and Community
Football also present opportunities for us to attract new players, in
particular migrant populations, into different formats of the game
including Futsal.
No CEO report would be complete without mention of our ASB
Women’s League Team of 2015 who reclaimed the title last held
in 2012. When Paul Greig was appointed as Head Coach for 2015
his task was not to win the league but to develop a sustainable
culture for the team that would carry them into the future. With
the right culture and values both on and off the pitch the team
would perform to its ability and this proved to be the case where
they held their nerves in the last minutes of the final as Mainland
pressed for an equaliser. Alongside this NFF developed a media
programme to support the team which included pre and postmatch interviews, match highlights as well as live tweets with
player profiles and graphics. Over 340,000 impressions via social
media and 26,000 interactions (likes, shares, comments) over the
nine matches demonstrates the interest in the women’s game
Chief Executive’s Report continued
especially if we can promote a quality team in a quality way.
By contrast we remain disappointed that the joint bid of North
Shore United and Takapuna AFC was unsuccessful in its attempt
to join the ASB Premiership for the 2016 season. Our desire as a
Federation to have a team based exclusively within our region that
engages and works closely with our clubs continues. How we can
collectively achieve this will be discussed with the senior NRFL
Clubs in 2016 as we lead into the development of a new Strategic
Plan for the Federation.
At the end of 2015 NZF adopted its new Strategic Plan with the
following goals:
MORE NEW ZEALANDERS PLAYING AND LOVING FOOTBALL
1. Participation in men’s football, traditional format, increases
from 90,000 to 96,000 by 2020, then to 102,000 by 2025.
2. Participation in women’s football, traditional format, increases
from 27,000 to 30,000 by 2020, then to 33,000 by 2025.
3. Participation across lifestyle football formats, increases from
18,000 to 27,000 by 2020, then to 36,000 by 2025.
OUR ELITE TEAMS WINNING AT GLOBAL PINNACLE EVENTS
4. The Ferns secure and maintain consistent top 10 FIFA ranking
from 2019.
5. All Whites perform at World Cups 2018, 2022.
NFF 13th Grade Girls at the MSport Cup in Sydney

NFF will now review its strategic direction and focus in the light of
these objectives. There is a desire to see clubs take on a greater
responsibility in the development of our best players. This would
require clubs to ensure the highest standards of coaching with
appropriately qualified and experienced coaches and in turn for
NFF to review the role of the Federation Talent Centres. Stronger
and more sustainable clubs will be good for the game across the
whole of the Northern region.
I would like to thank the Staff and Board of NFF for their guidance,
advice and support throughout my first year as CEO. I have learnt
a lot during these 12 months and have had the opportunity to see
first-hand the strengths of football within our region.
NFF would also like to extend its gratitute to our Sponsors, &
Partners including Football World, Joma, Harcourts Cooper & Co,
Orix and Giltrap Northshore as well as our Community Partners
including The Lion Foundation, Oxford Sports Trust, NZCT, ASB
Community Trust, Youthtown, Harbour Sport and Grassroots
Trust for their ongoing support and commitment within the NFF
footballing community.
Exciting times lie ahead for us all and I believe that we have a
capable team not just at NFF but within our Clubs. Our thanks to
all the volunteers who week in and week out deliver football in our
community. You are the heartbeat of our game and we could not
develop the game further without you.
Organisation Report
COMPETITIONS
The Men’s and Women’s Northern League Premier titles held by
NFF Clubs Glenfield Rovers and Forrest Hill Milford United were
relinquished in the 2015 season to Eastern Suburbs (Men) and
Claudelands Rovers (Women). Glenfield were the highest-placed
NFF team with a fourth-place finish while Forrest Hill were
runners-up to Claudelands in the Women’s.
NFF teams’ involvement in the national cup competitions was
highlighted by Glenfield Rovers second-successive ASB Women’s
Knockout Cup win, defeating Massey University (Palmerston
North) 4-0 at Trusts Stadium in Henderson. The goal scorers
were Maia Jackman Trophy winner, Estelle Harrison, Belinda van
Noorden, Stacey Hallford and captain Liz Milne. On the Men’s
side, NFF teams’ involvement ended at the semi-finals stage with
Birkenhead United falling to Napier City Rovers 4-3 on penalty
kicks after a 1-1 draw at Shepherds Park.
Success in the NRFL came in the lower Divisions with Forrest Hill
Milford United being named champions of the Men’s First Division
and promoted to the Premiers for 2016, while Oratia United
were promoted to the First Division as runners-up in the Second
Division. Waitemata went through the Men’s AFF/NFF Conference
competition without dropping a point and after defeating
Cambridge in a two-leg playoff series, were promoted to the NRFL
Second Division for 2016.
NFF’s only representation on the NRFL honours list was Forrest Hill
Milford goalkeeper Louie Caunter named Division One Player of
the Year.
clinching the League title with a perfect record of 12 wins from 12
games.
NFF’s Federation League (Conference) Golden Boot winners were
Rob Carty (Warkworth, 34 goals) and Nikki Jones (Hibiscus Coast,

In 2016, the NFF aims to deliver Coach Development opportunities
in three different formats allowing our coaching network to grow
and continue to develop.
The formats are:
•
In the NFF Men’s Federation One Cup, Waitemata made it
back-to-back wins, completing the League-Cup double after
defeating Glen Eden Rangers 2-0 in the Final at Fred Taylor
Park. Hibiscus Coast also made it back-to-back wins in the NFF
Women’s Federation One Cup, beating Takapuna 5-1 in the Final at
Bay City Park.
In Whangarei, Kamo Reserves defeated Tikipunga 2-1 in the
Stafford Choat Cup Final with Kerikeri Bay Builders taking out

opportunities throughout the NFF region. There will be an
emphasis on Informal Development with the Northern Coaches
Network which currently has over 700 coaches.
Organisation Report continued
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
The NFF Talent programme continued to grow during 2015 with
over 850 players involved in either Skill (SKC) or Talent (FTC)
across the whole federation.
We now have Skill Centres up and running in the Far North,
Northland, Waitakere, Harbour North and Harbour South for players
aged between 9-11, boys and girls.
The influx of technical proficiency can be directly attributed
to the continued work done by all of our clubs in the Whole of
Football and Junior Framework. This now sees our younger
players receiving appropriate and specific training, games and
environments. This is helping them develop technical skills and
better game understanding, whilst having fun at practice and
hopefully falling in love with the sport.
The FTC programme ran through all four terms during 2015,
and provided an environment for our players to train and play
alongside/against the other talented players in our federation. The
programme continues to focus on the NZF Talent curriculum which
has evolved so it can best support talented players development
and needs. The aim is that the work done with these programmes
will be transferred into their club training’s and games and acts as
a complement to the good work being done at clubs.
The FTC programme has also developed a large player
identification aspect to it, with regular inter Federation games,
tournaments and identification towards NZF organised
programmes that include the National Talent Centre (NTC) and the
NZ U17 programme.
During October 2015, the Upper North Island NTC, which is
selected from three federations, NFF, AFF and WaiBop, had 72
boys and girls from NFF selected to attend out of 175 players.
During 2015, there were three big FTC activities. In July, we sent
a 13th grade boys and girls squad across to Sydney, where the
squads had their first taste of international travel as a football
team, and played against several Australian teams during their six
day tour.
In October we had our 12th grade Weir Rose Bowl (WRB)
tournament, which is a three day representative tournament
New signs were delivered free to all NFF Clubs to have on the sideline of junior games to help encourage parents and players.
9
Organisation Report continued
involving three federations, NFF, AFF and WaiBop. NFF sent
10 squads representing Northland, Waitakere and Harbour. Our
teams represented NFF to a high level, conducting themselves
professionally on and off the pitch, finishing third in both the Boys
and Girls tournaments. In addition to third place, they gained
honours for the Golden Glove and a shared Boys Golden Boot for
Kern Platts-Mills and Liam White respectively.
We ended the year with the National Age Group Tournament
(NAGT) which included squads from every federation for 15th and
16th grade boys and a combined 15/16th grade girls. This was
a great experience with the squads spending 5 days together
planning, preparing, playing and recovering for these games
against the rest of the country in a professional environment. Our
15th grade boys coached by Martin Bullock were our highest
finish in 2nd place.
The NAGT wrapped up a very busy 2015 talent programme and
we look forward to 2016, as we hope to continue to assist our
players and develop them into the best they can be.
GIRLS’S AND WOMEN’S
2015 has seen an increase in girl’s and women’s football across
the board. The Girl’s Only Summer League reached 356 players
between the ages of 6-12 years old. 2,306 girls took part in
activities during the NZF Girl’s and Women’s Week. The Football
in Schools now has 876 participants and the Club and school
festivals have 1,433. The Let’s Play programme also saw a lot of
increased interest as there are now 1,184 girls taking part, more
than double the previous year.
NFF clubs are now starting to appoint Women’s Development
Officers whose sole focus is on Female football. Clubs are also
offering community products such as holiday programmes and
their own academies that promote the participation in Girls and
Women’s football.
For 2016, the NFF are aiming for more Women’s Development
Officers being present in NFF based clubs, and more involvement
with the strategic and operational planning. The NFF are also
aiming to bring in disability football for females.
ALIGNMENT
Secondary schools
In 2015, Norwest AFC coaches delivered the Football in Schools
programme to local primary schools, which resulted in growth
in junior memberships. NFF have also obtained funding for 2016
to help align club football and school football. This aims to provide
a clear pathway from school to a community club environment.
For the fifth year, NFF provided officials for boys and girls first

Organisation Report continued
eleven matches in Auckland for the 2015 season. This enhances
the relationship between Auckland Secondary Schools Football
Association and NFF. NFF are also working with College Sport in
aligning Secondary School Football to both NFF and NZF. Futsal
will also become a College Sport sanctioned sport in 2016. This
will add to the credibility of the current Futsal School Leagues and
assist with the growth.
Unaffiliated Clubs
Northern Wairoa and Mangawhai fully affiliated to NFF in 2015 for
the first time. As a result, NFF are supporting the clubs to develop
coaches, connect with local schools and assist with their on and
off field operations through implementing the Quality Club Mark.
Ethnic Engagement
NFF clubs are continually demonstrating how they are an inclusive
environment and welcoming of people of all ethnicities through
the process of the Quality Club Mark. As a result, the memberships
of our clubs reflect the diverse nature of our communities. In
addition to this, NFF is looking to align more closely with a
number of ethnic teams, clubs and associations that Auckland has
established. This will lead to NFF being better suited to engage
with ethnic communities and integrate with them.
COUNCILS AND FACILITIES
Auckland
NFF continued to support Auckland Council and our Local Boards
in their push for more quality facilitates within our Federation.
These will allow clubs to continue to grow and develop quality
football experiences.
Auckland Council is investing around $10million annually through
its Sports Field Capacity Development Programme to develop
and upgrade field conditions and install more floodlights. Some
noticeable improvements for the Northern Region include a new
artificial turf at Greville Reserve, new floodlights at Forrest Hill and
new sand-fields for Royal Reserve.
NFF’s Long Term Plan submission focused on ensuring that the
current level of investment is maintained in to the fields and
facilities within our region. Football is the highest participation
sport, and has an important part to play to ensure that
Aucklanders are active.
11
Futsal
In order to fit in with people’s busy lifestyles, the ability to ‘pay as
you play’ is becoming more popular. This has resulted in
the growth of NFF delivered Futsal leagues with a greater need to
access indoor and alternative spaces.
The Beach Haven Sports Centre is an example of where the NFF
have worked in partnership with Birkenhead AFC, Tennis and
Squash to create a first class facility that is a community hub for
all three sports. NFF is also looking at an underutilised artificial
bowling green in Warkworth to help deliver Futsal.
NFF has also continued to develop relationships with schools and
universities and are utilising their facilities to deliver programmes
to students and the wider community.
Northland
In Whangarei, football is currently the biggest user of council
owned fields. A vast majority of sports fields are soil based, which
limits their use over the winter months. The NFF’s Long Term Plan
submission recommended that the council invest into upgrading
to sand-based fields which will maximise their usability, along
with the introduction of floodlighting. This would also provide more
flexibility as to when games can be scheduled, therefore fitting in
with the community needs and lifestyles.
The quality of football fields was the focus of NFF’s Long Term
Plan submission to the Whangarei, Far North District and Kaipara
Councils in 2015. NFF has also outlined the importance of a
Northland Home of Football based in Whangarei to support
regional player development, coach and referee education
and North Force teams. In the Far North and Kaipara, NFF are
focussing on the development of Multi Sport Hubs in Kaitaia,
Kaikohe, Kerikeri and Dargaville to support and develop our clubs
in the region.
NZ FOOTBALL NATIONAL FACILITIES STRATEGY
NZF have commissioned the development of the New Zealand
Football National Facilities Strategy which will identify and
prioritise the current and future issues and opportunities facing
NFF during the period 2016-2025. This strategy will be used to
discuss the current and future needs of football with council to
ensure the sport continues to grow and prosper.
Quality Club Mark
NZ Football’s Quality Club Mark (QCM) has been designed to provide recognition that clubs are managed effectively, are sustainable and
provide quality experiences for their community. The criteria was updated in 2015 to include more emphasis on supporting volunteers and
better engagement with local ethnic communities.
There have been six additional clubs who have achieved NZ Football’s QCM, Onerahi FC, Bream Bay United, North Shore United, Birkenhead United, Forrest Hill Milford AFC and Te Atatu AFC, in 2015.
By completing QCM, the clubs have demonstrated the desire and capability to achieve standards of best practice on and off the field. It is
critical we have quality clubs providing a positive football environment for the whole community.

Lotto NRFL
The fight for the Lotto NRFL Premier League title turned into
somewhat of a one-horse race. Eastern Suburbs made a massive
impact on their return to the top flight, pulling off a league and
Chatham Cup double.
Suburbs shrugged off their rivals with relative ease, losing just
three times and finishing 10 points ahead of runners-up Hamilton
Wanderers, who rose one spot from their placing of third the year
before. The rest of the top five was completed by Onehunga Sports,
Glenfield Rovers and Central United, in that order. As defending
champions, Rovers will have been disappointed to end so far
off the title running this time around. Also enduring a frustrating
campaign was fellow Northern Football outfit Birkenhead United,
who dropped from second spot to sixth.
The fight to stay up was far clearer cut in Division One with
Ngaruawahia United winning just two games to suffer successive
relegations. They were joined by Takapuna, whose neighbours
Forrest Hill Milford United enjoyed a much more lucrative campaign
in earning back-to-back promotions with their title triumph.
WaiBOP’s Tauranga City United were also popping the champagne
corks for the second straight season but only after pipping North
Shore United by the slimmest of margins. It was nowhere near as
tight in Division Two. Papakura City ran away with the title by 10
points and runners-up Oratia United also created the same gap
over third-placed Fencibles United.

Lynn-Avon United’s lengthy spell in the NRFL came to an end with
relegation to the federation leagues, much to the relief of Albany
United and AFC Fury, who both finished only three points clear of
the wooden spoon. Taking Lynn-Avon’s place was Waitemata, who
were victors of a thrilling promotional playoff with Cambridge.
In the female game, Claudelands Rovers became the only WaiBOP
side to finish with a NRFL first-team trophy after holding off the
challenge of defending champions Forrest Hill-Milford.
Glenfield, Three Kings and Western Springs rounded out the top
five in a Women’s Premier League that was virtually split into two
divisions. The other teams all struggled to bridge the gap between
themselves and the top half. It was certainly too much for Fencibles
United, who won just once on their way through the trap door. They
were replaced by Hamilton after Wanderers narrowly edged out
Metro in the playoff.

ASB Women’s League
Northern Football claimed their third ASB Women’s League title in 2015 capping off an impressive season for the squad and denying
Main-land Pride a three-peat of competition titles.
After very successful club seasons, both Glenfield Rovers and Forrest Hill Milford players made up 20 of the 24 members of the squad.
Forrest Hill Milford, who were the defending 2014 NRFL Premier Women’s champions and finished runners up in 2015, contributed seven
players to the squad. Glenfield who won the NZ Women’s Knockout Cup and finished third in the NRFL contribute 13 players.
Head coach Paul Greig said “Its was exciting to have this level of talent available to represent NFF in the National Women’s League. We
had 16 players that have represented New Zealand either at U-17, U-20 or senior level and three who are currently in the Football Ferns
squad (CJ Bott, Aimiee Phillips & Erin Nayler).”
The aim of the season for the team was to win every game and regain the title playing football the Northern way. Northern’s route to the
final hit a major stumbling block with a narrow defeat down in Christchurch at the latter end of the season. Having to go through the playoff against the exciting talent within the NZF U-17 Development Squad was not part of the plan. It was something the team accepted and
showed their class in what was an end-to-end encounter. This also meant the Grand Final would be back down in Christchurch, against
the Mainland team who had one up on Northern.
Determined to make a mends, Northern out played Mainland for the majority of the game and were coasting to a 4-1 victory when the
wheels started to fall off. Mainlaind- surged in the last minutes of the match, but Paul Greig’s Northern side survived the remaining few
seconds to net their first competition win since back-to-back league victories in 2011 and 2012.
On route to the title, Northern set a new scoring record for the league notching up 37 goals. Katie Rood led the way with 8 goals followed
closely by both Aimee Phillips & Emma Rolston who contributed 7 goals each.
2015 ASB Women’s League Champions Northern celebrate after winning the title away at Mainland.

2015 Prize Giving Dinner
The season was concluded with a very successful Referees Prize
Giving Dinner. All three NFF Regions (Harbour, Waitakere and
Northland) were represented at a great evening which included
socialising and acknowledging the achievements of their fellow
colleagues.
Special guest for the evening was New Zealand U-20 Coach,
Darren Bazeley. He shared his experience as coach during the very
successful FIFA U-20 World Cup campaign. He also talked about
his experience as a professional player for Watford, Wolverhampton
Wanderers and Walsall in the English Leagues.

FIFA U-20 World Cup New Zealand 2015
The FIFA U-20 World Cup has been hailed as a resounding success featuring 22 days of mouth-watering football, watched by over
300,000 people. The Final which was won by Serbia who beat Brazil 2 – 1 after extra-time, was a fitting end to New Zealand’s hosting of
FIFA’s second largest male tournament with a sell-out crowd of over 25,000.
Dave Beeche, CEO of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Local Organising Committee, said he was delighted with how New Zealanders had embraced the tournament. “Kiwi sports fans have been part of an incredible celebration of world football. We’ve seen our own Junior All
Whites make history going further than ever before in a FIFA tournament, we witnessed over 150 stunning goals, inspiring talent and
amazing matches throughout every stage of the tournament.
“The legacy from this tournament will provide huge benefits for the football community in New Zealand with over $5 million dollars of
football infrastructure and equipment left in place to help grow and improve the standard and facilities for football in New Zealand.”
FIFA Director of Competitions, Colin Smith, reiterated Mr Beeche’s comments giving New Zealand a huge thumbs up for its successful
hosting of the tournament. “New Zealand has proved to be a fantastic host of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, it has been run by hugely
dedicated individuals and passionate and enthusiastic volunteers. We are delighted with how well the tournament has been delivered
across all seven host cities.”

Futsal gains momentum
The FIFA U-20 World Cup 2015 has come and gone and many
Federations have been involved with some exciting activities. NFF
teamed up with ATEED (Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic
Development), Auckland Football Federation (AFF) and Orange
Group in setting up the Fever Pitch by the wharf of the city centre.
This was a huge success, seeing a total of 27,123 visits to the
area, and hundreds participating in Futsal on the pitch, many for
the first time.
NFF ran coaching and refereeing introductory courses in
preparation of events like the Fever Pitch. This also included
games for the physically disabled (Power Chair Football), University
tournaments, a club night which involved six of our local clubs,
35 primary schools and even our local Year 10 Futsal players who
were looking after and coaching the students from Monte Cecilia
Primary as part of their NCEA credits. The weekends featured
various ethnic tournaments, including an African, Asian and South
American weekend.
College Futsal
Our college league teams have been on the rise with 64 teams in
total and around 16 teams per week playing on Friday evenings at
Albany Junior High School.

Some may have seen the portable 40x20 metre futsal court
travelling around the country during the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2015.
This was donated by the Local Organising Committee to NZF.
In partnership with NZF, NFF mustered 15 Year10 Albany Junior
High School (AJHS) students to spend a day setting up the court for
the school to further promote and develop the game.
NFF is working closely with AJHS and the other local schools to
promote the sport and to help grow the game. College Sport have
now sanctioned Futsal as a college sport for terms two and three in
2016 onwards.
New Zealand Futsal Roadshow
Once again the NZF Futsal Roadshow came back to Massey
University in Albany. This included various male and female
age group tournaments for clubs and schools combined. Plus
a showcase game with a mixed team which included Auckland
based Futsal Whites and Football Ferns.
The amount of support by players and parents remaining behind
for the showcase game was over-whelming. They were rewarded
by having the opportunity to win a NZF Futsal ball, all they had to
do was score a penalty past either the Football Fern’s goalkeeper,
Erin Nayler or Futsal Whites goalkeeper, Elias Billeh.
Futsal gains momentum continued
University Leagues
This year featured the first ever National University Futsal
Championships, with AUT and Massey University competing. The
tournament has left behind a legacy, where AUT now have a Friday
night league of their own on their North Shore campus. Massey
students have also engaged more with our Wednesday night
league where Shaun McMiken, Massey University Football Club
President said:
some of the cultural, language and other barriers that existed. As a
result, there’s now a greater solidarity and friendship among those
players who participated which was not there in previous years.”
“This event has been a huge success. There are quite distinctive
groups within Massey Uni who play a form of football; the Massey
Club, the Saudi, Iraq players and others”.
Our U-19 girls lost in a penalty shootout to the defending
champions and tournament winners in AFF, in the semi-finals.
“The Uni Champs, Northern Leagues and coaches acted as a
catalyst to bring together all these players and to breakdown
National Leagues
NFF and AFF partnered up to offer various leagues for our female
players with home and away fixtures. These helped us identify and
select a Northern Federation U-19 and Women’s Futsal team.
Our Women’s team ended up winning the National Women’s
Championship League in Wellington for 2015, where we will look
for future opportunities in 2016.
Our boys were runners up in the U-19 National Youth Champs,
losing to WaiBop in the final. Our Men’s team has undergone a
rebuilding year after losing many experienced National League
and Futsal White players.
Although the team finished last, there is plenty of promise in our
youth players, with the average team age dropping down to 20 in
2015.
Head Coach Felipe De Marchi Bernardi is optimistic that the core
of youth players injected in the team will be title contenders over
the next 3-4 years.
Coaches and Referees
In order for futsal to grow, we need to have a strong team to
support our fast growth. 2015 has been a successful year for
personal development. We have developed 60 new coaches and
52 new referees.
A special mention needs to be directed to Chris Casey and Jamie
Mew for completing their Futsal Level 2 and Campbell Kirk-Waugh
for supervising and educating our next generation of referees.
