vs New Zealand friendly match at Craven Cottage , London 9th June 2005 ]] The New Zealand national soccer team, nicknamed the ''All Whites'', is the national team of New Zealand and is controlled by New Zealand Soccer Inc . It has reached the World Cup Finals only once, in 1982 , but lost all three games. New Zealand usually battled Australia for top honors in the OFC . They won the OFC Nations Cup three times, in 1973 , 1998 , and 2002 . In 2004 , however, a 4-2 loss to Vanuatu not only denied them from meeting Australia in the final, but also stopped them from coming a step closer to the 2006 World Cup . With Australia's move to the Asian Football Confederation , New Zealand are now firm favorites to qualify for the 0.5 spot for future World Cups. WORLD CUP RECORD
