Updated: 4 minutes ago

The series follows the cancellation of New Zealand’s planned October internationals against Panama after an earthquake struck the Central American country.

New Zealand Football confirmed the Porirua Park fixtures on Tuesday, when the 33rd-ranked Football Ferns will host the 39th-ranked Philippines on Sunday, November 29 and Friday, December 4.
The sides last met in Wellington, at Hnry Stadium, in 2023 when the Philippines won 1-0 in their FIFA Women’s World Cup group A fixture.
“Porirua Park has established itself over the past few seasons as a real part of women’s football DNA in New Zealand, so it is significant to take two senior international matches there for the first time,” Football Ferns head coach Michael Mayne said.
The Ferns will have a training camp to prepare at the Phoenix base at NZCIS in Upper Hutt.
Tickets are priced at just $20 for adults and $5 for kids.
