From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think it is a bit unfair to have it called soccer. The name on the country shirt is New Zealand Football. The name of the championship is the NZFC- the New Zealand Football Championship. The governing body is refers to the game as football. It would be a courtesy to have it referred to be its correct official name. The country's professional club is the Wellington Phoenix Football Club, playing in the A-league run by the Football Federation of Australia.
The name soccer is a nickname derived from Association Football. No one is suggesting calling the game of Rugby Union, rugger or union, simply because there is another rugby sport- that of rugby league. I would disagree that the name is contentious, it is the offical established name. Any chance of this being respected in the wiki article?
