Chung says the discussions were timely and proved extremely productive.
“We believe each Member Association has an important role to play in the development of football throughout the region.”
“New Zealand Football plays a full and active role in the Confederation and we look forward to working to promote and develop football in the region alongside it.”

Shaw says New Zealand Football intends to thoroughly review recent events and ensure that everyone is clear on its position in the future.
“The organisation is committed to working closely with OFC staff and its Member Associations to achieve a common vision for the success of football in the region,” he says.
“NZF has a lot it can share with our regional colleagues, and there is plenty we can learn from them as well. We look forward to continuing to nurture those relationships for the overall benefit of football throughout Oceania.”
In addition, Chung says with the two organisations more in tune than ever it is an opportune moment to shine the spotlight back on football.
“To that end, we wish the New Zealand U-17 team all the very best as they represent Oceania at the upcoming FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile. We are certain they will do their country, and this region proud.”
