    The All Whites are welcoming direct entry for Oceania to next year's Football World Cup - ahead of kickoff in their qualifying final against New Caledonia at Eden Park

    The All Whites are welcoming direct entry for Oceania to next year's Football World Cup - ahead of kickoff in their qualifying final against New Caledonia at Eden Park


    It's the first time the winner from the region automatically qualifies for the tournament.

    Previously the Oceania champion has played in an intercontinental playoff - but New Zealand coach Darren Bazeley says it's a positive move.

    The match has just kicked off.
