New Zealand Football is governed by a seven-member board of directors, with extra members co-opted when specific skill sets are needed.

Three members are elected from “the game”; nominated and elected by New Zealand Football’s seven member federations at the sport’s annual congress.

The other four members are selected by an independent three-member board appointments panel chaired by the President of New Zealand Football (currently Nicholas Davidson QC), and featuring a representative from SPARC and a third member chosen by NZF’s member federations.

NZF board members serve terms of four years.

The current board of New Zealand Football is: Frank van Hattum (Chairman), Bill Moran (vice-Chairman), Mark Aspden, Fred de Jong, Paula Kearns, Peter O’Hara, Mark Stewart, and Andrew Titter.
