FIFA has asked us in New Zealand to be in the vanguard as one of the first countries to make these changes. The New Zealand Football Board, with the support of the seven regional Federations, has agreed to make changes to our rules at NZ Football’s Annual General Meeting in September this year. If we do this right, football in New Zealand will: . move into the future with stronger connections with everyone who cares about the game; . benefit from the insights and influence of a wider range of the people who participate in and contribute to the game; and . be better able to meet the needs of everyone involved in the game. This consultation document contains proposals from a working committee that has been researching the best way to align NZ Football’s rules with FIFA statutes and governance best practice. Appendix 1 lists the members of the governance working committee. The NZ Football Board and the seven regional Federations have contributed to this consultation document. Now it is your turn. Please let us know what you think. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strengthen our game and prepare it for the future. I hope everyone with a stake in the future of football in New Zealand will contribute their views and ideas. Bill Moran Chair, New Zealand Football NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL GOVERNANCE REVIEW CONSULTATION PAPER 1 How to give your feedback This consultation document is being discussed formally with all seven regional Federations, and with each of the stakeholder groups who would be affected by the changes. We are also seeking feedback from the wider football community on the proposals shown in the table in the Summary of the proposed changes section. We want to hear your feedback on any of the issues that you feel will affect you or the future wellbeing of football in New Zealand. Let us know what you think about any of the proposals, but we’re especially keen to hear from you on these key issues that need to be decided: . the split of voting rights among the stakeholders (Issue 1, pages 5-8); . who represents the different stakeholders (Issue 1, pages 9-11); . the number and term of Board members, and how they are selected (Issue 2, pages 12-14); . who elects the chairperson (Issue 3, page 15); and . how Board members are nominated (Issue 4, pages 16-17). Please send your feedback to Andy Martin, CE of NZ Football at [email protected] by 15 August 2014. The timetable for change . Regional Federations consult with members by 15 August 2014. NZ Football consults with stakeholders in new voting groups by 15 August 2014. NZ Football consults with FIFA, Oceania Football Confederation, and Sports NZ by 22 August 2014. NZ Football and regional Federations make final decisions on proposed changes by 29 August 2014. Decision document released to all stakeholders on 1 September 2014. Congress votes formally on the changes - September 2014. A Special Congress held in January 2015 to elect new members under the new rules. Late 2015: consequential review of the seven regional Federations’ rules complete. 2 NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL GOVERNANCE REVIEW CONSULTATION PAPER Principles It is proposed that the rule changes will be based on the following key principles: . Inclusivity: All key football stakeholders have voting rights. Fairness: Voting rights are fair and balanced across key football stakeholders. Democracy: No football stakeholder holds a majority of votes. Transparency: The electoral process is open and transparent. Accountability: The Congress determines who is on the Board. Best practice: The changes support high-quality decision-making. There are inevitably some tensions or tradeoffs to be made among the different principles. For example, a commitment solely to democracy may mean the most popular rather than the most capable directors are selected for the Board. Summary of the proposed changes This table shows the proposed rule changes to meet the key principles and objectives. Proposed Rules Changes Adopt FIFA’s terminology Enlarge Board from seven members to ten members Congress to be composed of three voting groups: . regional Federations . professional and elite . other stakeholders Share voting rights as follows: . regional Federations: 50% . professional and elite: 25% . other stakeholders: 25% Voting rights shared broadly equally among stakeholders within each voting group Reweight mix of elected Board members v. appointed and co-opted Board members: . Move to ten members elected directly with three of these elected via the search panel (currently three elected, four appointed and two co-opted members) . No members to be co-opted to the Board Move to four-year terms, with limits of two terms for Board members and one term as chairperson At least two candidates to be nominated per Board position Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson to be elected by Congress NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL GOVERNANCE REVIEW CONSULTATION PAPER 3 Terminology The FIFA statutes adopt terminology that differs from standard New Zealand practice in some respects. The FIFA terminology and the New Zealand equivalent phrases are provided below: FIFA term New Zealand equivalent statutes rules executive committee board president chairperson regional association regional federation general secretary chief executive officer It is proposed that NZ Football’s new rules adopt FIFA’s standard terminology. For the purposes of this consultation document we continue to use NZ Football’s current terminology. Benchmark comparators To assist the review the working committee examined the governance arrangements in a number of other leading organisations. The organisations the working committee examined are: NZ state- NZ sporting FIFA member football NZ listed owned organisations organisations NZ co-operatives companies enterprises . New Zealand Cricket . Football Federation Australia . Fonterra . Telecom NZ . Landcorp . New Zealand Rugby . The Football Association . The Co-operative . Contact . Meridian Union (England) Bank Energy Energy . US Soccer Federation A summary of the relevant governance arrangements for each organisation is provided in Appendices 5 to 7 of this report. 4 NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL GOVERNANCE REVIEW CONSULTATION PAPER Issue 1: Membership, attendance at Congress and allocation of voting rights This section discusses a number of issues relating to membership of NZ Football, rights to attend Congress and the allocation of rights to vote for members of the Board. The current situation The current members of NZ Football are the seven regional Federations; special category clubs (eg, The Phoenix); the officers and all paid employees of NZ Football; the members of the Board, judicial bodies and women’s steering committee of NZ Football; honorary and life members of NZ Football; and all members, registered players, coaches, referees and officials of regional Federations and registered clubs. All members have the right to attend Congress. Only the officers, Board members, regional representatives and regional delegates have the right to speak at Congress. The rights to vote at Congress to elect the Board are currently held exclusively by the seven regional Federations. Each Federation has one vote. A simplified illustration of the current situation is provided in the following diagram.

  • Team Wellington
    CASE STUDY – TEAM WELLINGTON WHO: TEAM WELLINGTON FC WHAT: Senior Football Club competing in New Zealand’s highest club league and associated competitions WHERE: Wellington, New Zealand COMPETE IN: New Zealand National League, OFC Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup 2018 FC Case Study - Team Wellington PROBLEM: Competing in a Southern Hemisphere Summer league, Tee Dubs was left with boring, picked-over, end-of-season Northern Hemisphere stock remnants that cost a bomb to print with sponsor logos and were a nightmare to replace as players left or arrived during the season. They were struggling to find the right designs in the right amounts at the right time - and the right price. SOLUTION: FC answered the call with the design, manufacture and delivery of a suite of fully-sublimated home, away, training and off-field uniforms. FC Case Study - Team Wellington The FC Team Wellington kits are totally original, one-of-a-kind designs that incorporate all seven sponsor logos with no extra printing costs. The stock order is tailored to their needs. No remnants. No items out of stock when they’re needed. PROCESS: An initial approach by the club in July 2017 was followed by introductory conversations and the production of an outline brief. The design team put together concept designs and after some discussion and tweaking, the designs were signed off, sampled and put into production. Manufactured at FC’s factory partner in China, the finished articles were delivered to the Club well within deadline for the beginning of the NZ National League season in September 2017.

  • Sport and Identity Was, to a Great Extent, Influenced by My Personal Interests
    FAN IDENTITY AND IDENTIFICATION DRIVERS - STOKING THE FLAMES OF THE PHOENIX By Markus Rühl A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2010 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Fans are of highest importance for the financial success of sports clubs (van Leeuwen, Quick, & Daniel, 2002). However, the nature of fandom and the meaning that fans place upon their relationship with a sports club varies and different degrees of fandom exist (Wann & Branscombe, 1990). Whilst much research has been done on the assessment of fan identification, little work has contributed to its practical application. For example, for sport marketers to actively strengthen their fan base, more than a mere assessment of the identification level of their fans is necessary. It is suggested that knowledge about the underlying identification drivers of fans with different identification levels is needed to inform any managerial action. This research aims to enhance understanding about the relationship between the level of fan identification and the drivers of identification, and it does so, via a study of New Zealand‟s only professional football club Wellington Phoenix FC. A cross-sectional convenience sample of 517 Wellington Phoenix fans was surveyed using both online and researcher administered/respondent completed questionnaires. The Sports Spectator Identification Scale (Wann & Branscombe, 1993) was used to measure fan identification, and participants were categorized into five identification levels. Findings show that ten of 16 identification drivers are correlated with the identification level. Of particular interest are findings that indicate a mediating impact of the identification level on specific relationships.
