First women's professional football game in NZ

From Morning Report, 8:38 am on 18 November 2022

The first ever women's professional football game in New Zealand will be played by the Wellington Phoenix on Sunday, November 20. 

This is also their first home game after the fledgling team were forced to play their entire inaugural season in Australia because of border restrictions. 

On a day of firsts, the organisers are hoping for a record crowd.
