New Zealand’s under-20 men’s football team is kicking off their FIFA World Cup campaign this weekend. 

Tomorrow will see them face their hosts in Chile, before further pool clashes against Egypt and Japan. 

NZ striker Luke Brooke-Smith told Piney the team’s spirit is super high and they’re all buzzing for the first game.  

“I think it’ll be a good, almost a surprise to the world, is what we want to do, and show what New Zealand football can do at youth levels.”
