New Zealand return to the FIFA World Cup at the 2026 tournament, appearing for the third time after previous appearances in 1982 and 2010. At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the Kiwis famously held then-champions Italy to a 1-1 draw and finished the group stage unbeaten. Captain Chris Wood, the nation's all-time leading scorer, headlines a squad aiming for the country's first-ever World Cup knockout-stage appearance.
