New Zealand Football has taken its review of competitions on the road, and online, in the second stage of a wide-ranging look at how competition structures meet the needs of players, coaches, referees and fans.
While a review panel led by Rhodes Scholar and gold medal-winning former Black Stick Selwyn Maister has already been conducting interviews with key stakeholders, the launch of an online survey and a series of ‘town hall’ meetings across New Zealand Football’s seven member federations widens the level the engagement.
“The panel has done the ground work,” said NZF CEO Michael Glading, “and now its time to open the debate to the people who play and serve the game.”
“We are committed to talking to all levels of the sport, and giving everyone who wants to the chance to have their say about the structure of football competitions.”
“People can now come to a meeting in their region, email a submission to us or take a quick survey.”
The shape, purpose, integration and sustainability of national and regional competitions form the 2010 season onwards is under review by the seven-member panel who will make recommendations to the NZF board in September.
Final decisions are expected by the end of 2009. Those interested in attending any one of the federation-hosted meetings are invited to contact the respective federation for more information, confirmed timings and to register on the speaking list.
