Football Ferns goalkeeper Erin Nayler is hoping New Zealand winning the right to co-host the 2023 Women's World Cup will mean a lot more home matches over the next couple of years.
New Zealand's isolation means Nayler can only recall playing"three or four" of her 71 internationals on home soil but she thinks top-tier teams will now make the long trip Down Under to prepare for the World Cup."As a team we always are asking for more home games, so hopefully that will happen and we can now start to build a really strong supporter base here.
Soccer's world governing body FIFA awarded the 2023 Women's World Cup to a joint bid from Australia and New Zealand on Thursday, so both nations qualify for the tournament as hosts.With no qualifying campaign, the Football Ferns will rely on friendlies for their preparation. New Zealand Football Chief Executive Andrew Pragnell said he would be looking to organise as many as possible.
