Will New Zealand finally clear the group stages at the World Cup in their fifth attempt? The Football Ferns will be hoping to win their first ever Women's World Cup game this summer in France.

What is New Zealand's history in the FIFA Women's World Cup?

The Football Ferns first qualified for the World Cup in 1991, but did poorly as they lost all three games and made a disappointing exit at the group stage. New Zealand didn't feature in the next three editions until the 2007 tournament but had little luck. So far, they have failed to win a single game at a FIFA Women's World Cup. So, will this be the time that they finally get out of the group stages?

Who are the key players to watch for New Zealand at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup?

Chelsea Women's Ali Riley, the team's skipper, will be the player to try to lead New Zealand as far as possible this summer. A veteran of three World Cups dating back to 2007, she will hope that the Football Ferns will finally end their hoodoo at this tournament.

Who is New Zealand's coach?

Head coach Tom Sermanni has been in charge of the side since 2018. A highly experienced manager, the former midfielder will be overseeing his fourth Women's World Cup and has also managed the United States Women's Team, the Australian Women's Team, and the Canadian Women's Team. Given that he guided the Matildas to the quarter-finals in 2007 and 2011, New Zealand are hoping to go as far as possible.
