Speaking ahead of the game against Nigeria, Gunn told www.nzfootball.co.nz: “It is going to be a privilege to lead the team at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup and I’m really pleased with the squad we have assembled after a competitive selection process.



“Having a number of the squad be part of the group for the OFC U-16 Women’s Championship 2024 last month has been good preparation for us, so we are looking to continue building on that momentum and challenging ourselves at the highest level.”

After taking on Nigeria in their opener, New Zealand will face hosts Dominican Republic on 20 October, and Ecuador on 23 October.
