History
The beginnings
The first international match was a New Zealand selection on July 23, 1904 in Dunedin instead of on the ancient Caledonian Ground. New Zealand was at that time still a British colony. The New Zealanders lost the game against the selection from New South Wales with 0:1, but were in a renewed clash, which took place at Athletic Park in Wellington seven days later, earn a 3-3 draw. The following year played the selection still some games in New Zealand and Australia.
By 1921, no further play a New Zealand national team was held. On June 17, 1922, the first official international match took place. In Carisbrook in Dunedin, the team earned a 3-1 victory against Australia.
Balance: FIFA World Cup
The New Zealand national football team in 1970 took part in a qualification for the World Cup. In two knockout tournaments, the team met with Israel, which at that time took in the Oceania zone. The first leg went with 0:4 lost the return leg 0-2. Thus New Zealand was eliminated in the first round.
In qualifying for the World Cup 1974 in Germany New Zealand had to play in a group with Australia, Indonesia and Iraq. After completion of the group New Zealand reached three draws, two of them against Australia and a draw against Indonesia. All other games were lost, against Iraq even with 0:4. This New Zealand was eliminated as a group last.
Even with the qualification to World Cup 1978 in Argentina, the team was unsuccessful. Although New Zealand won both games against Chinese Taipei each with 6-0, but they played against Australia only a draw and lost the deciding game 1:3. The second place in the standings so that meant the end.
The first participation in a World Tournament New Zealand succeeded in the Football World Cup 1982 in Spain. In the first qualifying round we sat through as group winners against Australia, Chinese Taipei, Fiji and Indonesia. The final round of the Asia / Oceania Zone New Zealand could finish in second place against China, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, level on points with China. On 10 January 1982, then came to a decision game to take part in the World Cup final against China. New Zealand was able to win this 2-1 and triggered the ticket to Spain.
The World Cup began for the team on June 15, 1982 in Málaga against Scotland. This game lost with 2:5 New Zealand, goalscorers for the Oceanic were Steve Sumner and Steve Wooddin. My second opponent was on June 19, also in Málaga, the Soviet Union, against which it is clearly lost with 0:3. On June 23, New Zealand finally defeated in Sevilla with 0:4 of the team from Brazil and was eliminated in the preliminary round of the World Cup finals as a group last.
The Football World Cup 1986 could not be reached. New Zealand was eliminated in the first round of qualifying as a group third behind Australia and Israel, and against Chinese Taipei. The highlight was a 5-0 victory against Chinese Taipei.
When qualifying for the Football World Cup 1990 in New Zealand defeated Italy in the first round in two games Chinese Taipei 4-0 and 4-1 and drew with it into the final round of the Oceania zone. But a poor performance in the group of three with Australia and Israel and only a win from four games meant a premature end.
Participation in the Football World Cup 1994 failed to Australia. After the preliminary round Fiji and Vanuatu were defeated, they lost two games in Australia with 0:1 and 0:3.
With the Football World Cup 1998 New Zealand was set for the second qualifying round. Again we met in Fiji, which were defeated 1-0 and 5-0. Against the second group opponents, the national team of Papua New Guinea, New Zealand surprisingly lost 0-1 the first game. The second leg ended in turn clear 7-0 for New Zealand. Again there were two play-off matches against Australia, but already the first leg was lost with 0:3. The return match ended 0:2 and New Zealand again missed the qualification for the World Cup finals.
The qualification for the FIFA 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea began successfully for New Zealand, the first round was finished as group winners ahead of Tahiti, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands with four wins from four games. As early as 1994 and 1998, there was also time to two relegation matches against Australia, both of which were lost ( 0:2 and 1:4).
The Football World Cup 2006 could not reach New Zealand again. But this time it was not even in the relegation against Australia. After the opening game against Australia was narrowly lost 0-1, New Zealand won against the Solomon Islands 3-0. On 2 June 2004, they lost completely by surprise with 2:4 against the minnows from Vanuatu. Tahiti was released two days later with 10:0, Fiji also defeated 2-0. But because the Solomon Islands against Australia played 2:2, New Zealand only reached the third place in the table, which meant the resignation.
In qualifying for the Football World Cup 2010 in South Africa New Zealand won the OFC Nations Cup in 2008 and qualified for two playoffs against Bahrain, the fifth part of the Asian qualifiers. New Zealand won by a 0-0 draw away the return match at home against Bahrain 1-0, bringing New Zealand qualified for the second time for a world championship. Here they met in Group F Italy, Paraguay and Slovakia. With three draws different indeed from New Zealand in the first round, but was able to leave the then reigning world champions Italy behind as a group of third parties. New Zealand was the only team that suffered a defeat in this World Cup.
