FINAL

Whoever wins the final, will get a place at the FIFA World Cup 2026 being held in Canada, Mexico and the USA.
The team that loses this final will have a play-off match against a country from another FIFA confederation.
If the All Whites win the Qualifiers Final, it would be only the third time New Zealand has been to a FIFA World Cup. (Other times were 1982 and 2010)
