    The wait is over in more ways than one for the All Whites ahead of the 2026 World Cup

    The wait is over in more ways than one for the All Whites ahead of the 2026 World Cup


    They'll face eighth-ranked Belgium, world number 20 Iran and 34th ranked Egypt in Group G with all matches in Los Angeles, Vancouver and Seattle.

    The full match schedule and kick-off times will be released tomorrow.

    The All Whites were the 48th and final ball to be plucked from the pots - and coach Darren Bazeley says it was a nervous wait.
