Player to Watch
Chris Wood – Striker & Captain (Nottingham Forest)
The nation's all-time top scorer and talisman. His hold-up play, aerial dominance, and clinical finishing are the focal point of New Zealand's attack. Any hope of a positive result often runs through him.
Tournament Objective
The primary goal is to be competitive and earn their first-ever World Cup point(s). Scoring a goal and securing a draw would be a historic achievement. Advancing from the group would be a monumental, against-all-odds miracle. Their success is measured in pride and moments, not points.
