Football Ferns qualify for World Cup and Olympics

The Football Ferns booked a place at their fourth successive World Cup by thrashing Fiji 8-0 to retain the OFC Nations Cup, sealing the qualification spot reserved for Oceania.

The win also qualifies New Zealand a spot at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

It was their fifth successive big win of the tournament and allowed recently-appointed coach Tom Sermanni to begin his reign with a piece of silverware, New Zealand claiming regional honours for the sixth time.
