Philippine and New Zealand football: gap analysis
There is a clear gap between the Philippines and New Zealand in the development of football. Philippine football started late and developed slowly, while New Zealand football enjoys a certain reputation on the international stage. This article will analyze the gap between the Philippines and New Zealand in terms of team strength, international competition results and football culture.
Team strength comparison
The performance of the Philippine football team in international competitions is relatively weak. The Philippine national football team ranks low in the FIFA (International Football Federation) world rankings, usually behind 100. In contrast, the New Zealand football team has performed well in international competitions. It has participated in the World Cup, Intercontinental Cup and other important events for many times, and has certain strength and experience.
International competition results
The Philippine football team has relatively poor results in international competitions. The Philippine national football team is often difficult to achieve good results in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) matches, and there is a significant gap compared with other strong teams in Asia. The New Zealand football team performed well in the competition of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), won the Oceania National Cup for many times, and performed well in the World Cup qualifiers.
Differences in football culture
The Philippines and New Zealand also have some differences in football culture. Football is not a mainstream sport in the Philippines. Basketball and boxing are more concerned. This led to the limited development of Philippine football and the lack of accumulation of football culture. New Zealand football is widely concerned and supported in the country and society. Football culture is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which has promoted the improvement of football level.
epilogue
To sum up, there is a clear gap between football in the Philippines and New Zealand. New Zealand is above the Philippines in terms of team strength, international competition results and football culture. However, Philippine football is also trying to catch up, and has made some progress in recent years, hoping to narrow the gap with New Zealand football in the future development.
