New Zealand Football CEO Andy Martin welcomed the A-League franchise club into the fold.
“The addition of the Wellington Phoenix team strengthens both the A-League franchise and the overall quality of our national competition which is very important,” Martin said.
Great to see another HAL club allowed into their 'local' league.
Seems NZ can see the clear benefits to all.
Hopefully all other HAL clubs will follow suit soon.
