New Zealand Football have elected two new board members.
Dana Hussey (35) and Cam Mitchell (41) were elected at the national body’s 2023 annual congress in Wellington.
Existing board members Scott Moran and Jackie Barron were also re-elected for a further term.

“This is a critical period for New Zealand Football as we mature as an organisation, deliver regular international football, leverage the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the benefit of the domestic game and continue to grow Aotearoa’s biggest community participation sport.
“The board look forward to working with Cam, Dana, Jackie and Scott to strive to deliver the best for football in New Zealand.”
