During a press conference on 20 June 2018, the Chief Executive Officer of New Zealand Football, Andy Martin, in answer to questions from the media in respect of matters raised by a former New Zealand Football staff member, stated that the matters were linked to a “performance management issue around the individual”.

This statement was factually totally incorrect.  There were no performance management issues as they relate to this former New Zealand Football staff member.  Quite the opposite.

New Zealand Football are pleased to take this opportunity to apologise to the former New Zealand staff member for making such a statement.
