    All Whites coach Darren Bazeley's welcoming a rare opportunity ahead of this year's Football World Cup

    All Whites coach Darren Bazeley's welcoming a rare opportunity ahead of this year's Football World Cup


    New Zealand will host three teams and play two of them in late March - those fixtures set to be against Finland and Chile at Eden Park.

    The game against the Finland will be the All Whites first home clash against European opposition in more than 30 years.

    Bazeley says it shows how difficult it is for teams to come to New Zealand.
