All Whites coach Darren Bazeley has quickly turned his attention from qualifying to planning the build-up to the 2026 World Cup.

New Zealand's 3-nil win over New Caledonia booked a third visit for the All Whites to the sport's showpiece.

Bazeley says they will keep active as they can in FIFA international windows as well as keeping the lines of communication open.

New Zealand's next fixtures are against Ivory Coast and Ukraine in Toronto in June.
