NZ INFLAMES OFC ELECTION
New Zealand Football has replaced banned Reynald Temarii with two senior board members. The congress in Pago Pago, American Samoa, will elect a replacement for Temarii as president of the OFC, who is also the area's representative on the elite Fifa executive committee.
It was expected acting president, David Chung, of Papua New Guinea, would be a certainty for the job after taking over from Tahiti-based Temarii, who was caught in a British newspaper World Cup vote-selling sting and suspended for a year by Fifa.
But NZF chairman and former All White goalkeeper Frank van Hattum, 52, and board member Fred de Jong, 46, an ex-All White striker, confirmed to the Sunday Star-Times their intention to stand for the role.
New Zealand next play against Michael Carrick and Ben Foster's England.
