Crucial games go ahead this weekend for the Football Ferns and the Wellington Phoenix men’s and women’s teams.
By Monday, the Ferns will know whether they’ll represent Oceania at the Paris Olympics in July.
The Phoenix men will still be top of the men’s A-League regardless of their Sunday result against Macarthur — but can they maintain their five-point buffer?
For the Phoenix women, the side will face the challenge of travelling to Melbourne to play Western United without their New Zealand internationals.
Meanwhile, the second weekend of top men’s futsal gets underway with games in Canterbury and Manawatu.
Enjoy your footballing weekend!
