The FIFA World Cup draw in Cape Town has confirmed who the All Whites will face in South Africa next June - but what sort of support can they expect from home?
New Zealand is guaranteed 12% of the seats at the All Whites' matches.
And football fans, such as David Chote, say that with 28 years between New Zealand's World Cup qualifications so far, there might not be another chance to see the All Whites play in a World Cup.
Travel agents have been hard at work from the moment the early Saturday morning draw was made.
Williment Travel says it will be looking at a four or five star tour, as well as a more budget option. They say punters will be probably looking at between $13,000-$20,000 for an all-inclusive tour.
Nearly 300 people have already registered their interest with the agency.
"If you can extend your mortgage, or dip into your savings, or you can, I don't know, rob your grandmother, get the money some way, get there because they are special events," Chote says.
