Jodie Hammond didn’t play or ‘take the court’ at nationals.
Well done AFA still the Vikings way.

Could someone please tell me what the situation is with the “Old Vikings/New AFA” registration, if that is the right word, for the New Zealand national team to compete at future AMF competitions?
Does the AFA hold the “licence/registration” for NZ?
A NZ side coached by Gui Costa competed at the last World Cup in Colombia. Is there likely to be a NZ squad for Russia 2015?
Any answers, comments would be much appreciated, thanks.

Best to contact AFA direct. I do know that Football NZ are putting a lot of effort in the Futsal Whites FIFA Futsal World Cup 2016 campaign.

I’m pretty sure Vikings still exists in NZ (it’s just not as prominent as it used to be) so you would have to contact who ever is running it over there
