Getting to the WC would be immense of course....heaps more publicity for the code in NZ. But the real biggy is the $$$$. $8 to $10 million for qualifying. Ok some goes to the players. But the bulk of that money would go to NZF.
As the CEO of NZ football said...it would set NZ football up for the next decade at least. They would have the money for all the promotions and training etc. It would take football in NZ to a new level.
Bahrain football is loaded...we need this win despirately...not only to make the WC but for the future of football in NZ
