Olympics: Football Ferns to kick off competition tomorrow

From Morning Report, 7:38 am on 20 July 2021

New Zealand's participation in the Tokyo Olympics officially begins in the Japanese capital tomorrow night.

The Football Ferns say they won't be distracted by the presence of Covid-19 in the Games Village ahead of their match against arch-rivals Australia.

The entire South African men's football team has been moved to an isolation facility outside of the Village after two players and a team official tested positive for the virus.
