New Zealand Fixtures
New Zealand open with matches spread across Philadelphia, Kansas City, which creates varied viewing windows for fans in different regions.
New Zealand Group Outlook
New Zealand have a tough assignment against Belgium, Egypt and Iran, with all three opponents likely to test them physically and tactically. Their best chance is to stay compact, frustrate Belgium or Egypt, and make the Iran match a genuine points opportunity.
Group Matches
Possible Knockout Path
New Zealand are currently outside the automatic and third-place qualifying spots in Group G.
They need to climb into the top two for a direct Round of 32 slot, or third place for a possible cross-group path.
