New Zealand Football has laid all its cards on FIFA's table in the hope of securing the 2015 Under 20 World Cup.

New Zealand's bid arrived in Zurich last night and will join four other bids to host the tournament.

NZ Football boss Michael Glading rates our chances. He said we're up against four countries with one of those being Tunisia, which has a fair bit of political unrest at the moment.

He feels New Zealand's main rivals are Wales and Peru.

FIFA will make an announcement on the successful bid on March 4th.
