Team New Zealand will make their debut appearance at the Melbourne 2008 Homeless World cup. The team is being organised by Street Football Aotearoa, a newly formed Charitable Trust which aims to support homeless and excluded people to train for and participate in the Homeless World Cup. In a country better known for its exploits with the oval ball than with the round one, the Trust is currently working with the New Zealand Coalition to End Homelessness and Community Housing Aotearoa to promote grassroots football across the country to their members. Local training is underway in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. World Ranking: debut
