NZ Football say the use of some grounds as team training bases for the FIFA Women’s World Cup will require some clubs to use alternative venues for some fixtures.
“An updated schedule with confirmed venues will be made available ahead of the start of the season,” NZ Football say.
Meanwhile, a live streaming schedule for the National League competition, featuring games from the three regions, will be announced soon.
