“This squad reflects our desire to maintain that momentum and we’ve selected a group with a good mix of established internationals and players who have earned opportunities through their work at club level, including a debut call-up for Stipe Ukich who has been really impressive playing in a tough league in Croatia.
“The tour will be a valuable test against a range of different opponents and playing styles, from teams ranked in the 90s right up to sides who were also at the Fifa World Cup.
“The objective is always to win matches, but these tours are also about learning, improving and ensuring we are better prepared for the challenges ahead as we continue the journey as a team.”
The All Whites open their international window against Palestine on September 24 in Chongqing, China, followed by a match against China in the same city on September 28.
The team then heads to Japan to play in the 2026 Kirin Cup, playing Panama on October 1 and either Ecuador or Japan in the final or third-place playoff on October 5.
