The All Whites have secured their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The team beat New Caledonia 3-0 on Monday night. How will the New Zealand team prepare for the World Cup? New Zealand Football CEO Andrew Pragnell talks to Piney. LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand Football will receive a huge financial windfall after the All Whites qualified for the FIFA World Cup. NZ Football chief executive Andrew Pragnell spoke to Corin Dann.

The All Whites have secured a spot at next year's expanded football World Cup, beating New Caledonia 3-nil in the Oceania qualifying final at Auckland. New Zealand needed an hour to score when defender Michael Boxall headed in from a corner - replacements Kosta Barbarouses and Elijah Just also struck. This marks the third time the All Whites have qualified for the World Cup, which now accommodates 48 rather than 32 teams. NZ Football CEO Andrew Pragnell told Mike Hosking this is probably the greatest group of talent they've ever seen in the men's space. He says expectations should be high, and this group has the capability to not only win games, but get out of the group round. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Professional Footballers' Association is standing with the governing body regarding alleged inappropriate behaviour by outgoing coach Jitka Klimkova towards a player. Newstalk ZB understands a number of players were dissatisfied with New Zealand Football's handling of the employment-related matter. The incident, which the players say happened during last year's World Cup, resulted in an independent investigation. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave unpacks the controversy. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand Football doesn't want former Football Ferns coach Jitka Klimkova to leave and said it was all her decision to resign after months of turmoil. Klimkova has left the head coach role three years into a seven year contract but will stay on with New Zealand Football for six months in a different role. An independent workplace investigation cleared Klimkova of any wrongdoing but late last week she ended her coaching term citing her wellbeing, sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

The tumultuous reign of Jitka Klimkova has come to an end.   In her time as coach the Football Ferns achieved a groundbreaking win over Norway, but aside from that success her tenure was filled with many failures and controversies.   NZF CEO Andrew Pragnell joined Piney to discuss what has led to her departure.  “At the end of the day, she's put it in pretty hard yards. She's achieved some things we've never achieved before, she's transitioned the team in a way that we haven't seen over the past ten years, and she feels her time's up.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Annalie Longo, the Women's Development Manager for New Zealand Football, talks to Emile Donovan.

The first story this week is not the best one, a man was arrested for flying a drone over the SpaceX launch facility in Cameron County, Tx. The man was identified as 32 yr. old, Reynold Daniel Chavez, admitted he was flying his drone to see the rockets and said he didn't know the airspace was restricted. At this stage, we're unsure what legal ramifications Chavez will face. But he was charged with “operation of an unmanned aircraft over a critical infrastructure facility.” The incident highlights the need for all UAS pilots to know the rules and regulations as well as the airspace they fly in. Whether flying under part 107 or recreationally, flying safely helps protect the industry we love. We'll share updates on this story as more information comes in. Alright, in our next story some more exciting news. We have some new leaked photos and even a video of two new drones. First, what looks like a new DJI Air. It was first speculated to be an DJI Air4 and then later an DJI Air3s. Either way, these new leaks appear to show a much larger gimbal and dual cameras. Could we be getting a 1 inch sensor? The original DJI Air3 came out almost exactly one year ago, on July 25th 2023. And, it's a great drone we still fly today, so we're excited to see what kind of upgrades we'll get with a newer model. This time, several pictures showing a possible Mavic 4 prototype. What is clear is the very visible Hasselblad name branding and a design that looks similar to the current Mavic 3 series. The leaks seem to show a larger gimbal with a 3 camera setup, which could indicate bigger image sensors. You can also see several sensors on the top and bottom of the drone, another possible upgrade could be to obstacle avoidance or tracking features. Again, we'll have to wait and see. But the possibilities are exciting! Next up, an accusation involving drones at the Olympics. A drone was seen flying over the New Zealand women's soccer team during practice. The New Zealand Olympic Committee stated, “Team support members immediately reported the incident to police, leading to the drone operator, who has been identified as a support staff member of the wider Canadian Women's football team, to be detained,” A formal investigation has been launched to review the event. The Canadian Olympic Committee responded with a statement saying, “The Canadian Olympic Committee stands for fair-play and we are shocked and disappointed. We offer our heartfelt apologies to New Zealand Football, to all the players affected, and to the New Zealand Olympic Committee,” We'll have to wait to see what information is uncovered from this story, but we will report back with any updates. Lastly, as mentioned, Greg is at the EAA airshow with a lot of team. This year we have booths 209,210 and in Hangar B booth 2141. No live on Community today and no live on Monday.

New Zealand Football is set to receive around $13 million in funding from FIFA over the next four years via the governing body's development programme. The record-breaking investment in football comes as FIFA expects to generate just over $17 billion between 2023 and 2026. The money each of the 211 member associations will get is a 30 percent increase on the previous four year cycle and will be a game-changer for smaller football nations. We're joined by sports reporter Felicity Reid.

New Zealand Football's push-back to a Saudi Arabian tourism body sponsoring the women's Football World Cup has surprised the sport's bigwigs. FIFA were reportedly caught off-guard by criticism of Visit Saudi's involvement in the world cup which kicks off in Auckland in July.

Let's see if the outraged in football are going to back up their outrage with actual actions this time around. Once again, FIFA has proved it doesn't care what anyone thinks and it's chosen money over morals. It's signed Saudi Arabia on as a sponsor of this Women's Football World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Without telling Football Australia and New Zealand Football that they've done it. And needless to say, neither of them are happy about it. Because of course, Saudi Arabia has a shocker of a record when it comes to the treatment of women. Women still need permission from a guardian to get married or leave prison, and even get some forms of sexual and reproductive healthcare. Football Australia is “very disappointed”. New Zealand Football is "shocked and disappointed". And so they've written a letter to FIFA that's somehow become public. Warning that they “cannot express strongly enough the potential repercussions and fallout that could result [from] this decision".  So let's see what those repercussions and fallout are. Because it's very tempting to think it's going to play out in exactly the same way it did with FIFA taking the men's World Cup to Qatar. Lots of outrage, players posting videos condemning Qatar's human rights record, threats of armbands, statements of disappointment… And in the end. Nothing.  Not even an armband. Not even one.  Everyone just turned up, played football, watched football, paid for football.  I suspect FIFA's got the measure of everyone. They're in control of the biggest game in the world and they've done this enough to know that in the end, money talks. So they just do what they want, basically. Pressure's on.  If Football Australia and New Zealand Football really place - and I quote them - “the utmost importance on gender equality”, what are they gonna do to prove it?  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Women's World Cup co-hosts New Zealand Football and Football Australia have written to FIFA to ask for clarification and to urge them against this choice. Women in Sport acting Chief Executive Nicky van den Bos says this decision was unexpected, and they don't support this sponsorship. Nicky van den Bos says New Zealand Football has started on the right foot by asking FIFA for clarification, as this is still speculative.

Well, they did it. With an over 42,500 strong crowd behind them, the Black Ferns upset the tournament favourites to take home the 2022 Women's Rugby World Cup. What an incredible story – to rebuild after a disastrous Northern tour at the end of last year and get to the World Cup final would on its own have been an inspiring story. But the Black Ferns have given us so much more. They united the country in support of women's rugby. They reminded us playing sport should be done with passion and joy as much as with grit, skill and commitment. They reminded us of the importance of simply being yourself. The Black Ferns story goes well beyond just winning. And I hope those behind the Football Ferns and Fifa Women's World Cup 2023 organisers have been watching and taking note. The Black Ferns have offered a master class in how to build support and profile, and turn a team – and I mean the whole team – into household names. Next year New Zealand Football has an even bigger stage on which to inspire and grow women's football in New Zealand. To do that they need to get budding young football players – both girls and boys and their families - into stadiums next year. Having a team you know and support, like the Foot tball Ferns, plays a large in achieving this. To be honest, I hadn't until recently realised how big a deal it is to be co-hosting the Fifa Women's World Cup 2023 with Australia. The World Cup is massive. The last Women's World Cup, held in France three years ago, had more than 1.12 billion broadcast views (compared to the Men's 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan which had 480 million views), and and 82 million people watched the final. And next year the Women's World Cup tournament is larger than ever before with 32 teams competing, up from 28. At present, women's team sports are blossoming and growing here and around the globe. Maybe there's a new appreciation for live sport after being deprived of it over the last couple of years, but the numbers attending women's football are impressive. In April, a new world record for attendance at a women's football match was achieved in Spain – 91,600 people. It's not uncommon in Europe for over 30,000 fans to turn up to an international friendly. 68,000 went to watch the opening of the Euros at Old Trafford. France also managed to pull a crowd of 43,000 at a Champions League semi. This all bodes very well for next year. Massive broadcast crowds, New Zealand on show (and hopefully living the brand), Football tourism, a lasting legacy of better infrastructure for women's football, and a big push for the game. I'm starting to get a picture of the opportunity in front of us. This is massive. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The All Whites played in New Zealand for the first time in five years on Sunday, in front of one of the biggest football crowds in New Zealand history, but what happens next for the team is still up in the air. New Zealand Football are yet to lock in any upcoming matches and coach Danny Hay's future is also uncertain after the All Whites failed to qualify for this year's World Cup in Qatar.

So this is it, the final episode of season 1... it's been great to be able to share some fantastic conversations from highly regarded practitioners over the past nine episodes. Episode 10 is slightly different, firstly it has been split into two parts, 10.1 is an athlete roundtable where I have invited four international athletes to share their experiences of S&C, the good the bad, the ugly. Today we welcome; Lotte Wubben-Moy : Arsenal and England international footballer, who has just been selected as a travelling reserve with TeamGB at this year's Olympics Lindsay Keeble : Current London Pulse Super league netballer who has previously played for England internationally Pete Miles : GB Judo who competed at the Youth Olympics Joe Bell : Current Olywhite with New Zealand Football and playing for Vikings in Norway These guys give a great perspective on what it's like to receive coaching from S&Cs and some great tips on the dos and do nots from their opinions when it comes to influencing groups, obtaining buy-in and coaching in general. Hopefully you find it an insightful listen. Stick around for 10.2 where we will review season 1. If you enjoy the episode we would love you hear your thoughts via social media.

Women's football doesn't often make much of a mark in our sports news but the unprecedented achievements of the Young Ferns and a sexist joke from a bloke in Paris did this past week. The minister of sport also bluntly challenged our sports reporters to up their game too. Fair call?
