We have approached a number of players and are waiting for confirmations but still require players to complete each squad, especially the women’s. We are also looking for managers for each squad as well.

Can all interested players and managers who are a definite in partaking in this event please contact Suresh Wallabh, NZISA President, as soon as possible (suresh@eurogrow.co.nz, 021 153 3089). Both teams will be finalised next week.
