New Zealand Football could drop the 'All Whites' nickname for the men’s national team as part of a review into cultural diversity.
The 'All Whites' name was first applied to the national side during the country's successful qualifying campaign for the 1982 World Cup finals.
NZF, the national governing body, is reported to have sought feedback from stakeholders on a potential change because of fears the nickname could be seen as carrying racial undertones.
Kiwi Super Rugby side Canterbury Crusaders changed their logo in 2019 from a knight brandishing a sword to a Maori motif in response to questions over whether references to wars between Muslims and Christians were appropriate.
