New Zealand Secondary Schools Football Association

At the 2025 Annual General Meetings of NZSS Girls’ Football and NZSS Boys’ Football Associations it was voted to dissolve the current bodies and form a single governing entity, the NZSS Football Association (NZSSFA). This decision stemmed from the work of a Joint Governance Group and extensive consultation to develop a unified body and address recommendations from the Secondary School Aged Football Report.
