Andrew Pragnell: NZ Football CEO on the All Whites locking in a pre-World Cup clash against England
Published 1 month ago
Description
The All Whites have locked in a fixture with fourth-ranked England in Florida as part of their World Cup football preparations.
The match will be held on June 7, New Zealand time, at an as yet unconfirmed venue.
New Zealand Football boss Andrew Pragnell told Mike Hosking they've earned the fixture.
He says every team is looking for fixes ahead of those critical world cup games, but over the last few years the All Whites have been attracting stronger and stronger opposition from around the world.
It's the highest ranked opponent the All Whites have secured in 17 years, and the first time they've played England since 1991.
