New Zealand Football has outlined its key priorities for the three-year period from 2009-2011. These are:

1. Increase the number of participants in the game and the quality of their experience;
2. Achieve success at an elite level that creates a sense of identity and pride and inspires participation;
3. Improve our organisational capability and deliver greater value by developing our people, systems and processes;
4. Ensure the game has a clear strategic direction and is well-governed at every level.

The strategy is a partnership between New Zealand Football and its 7 regional federations, and Footballsouth is committed to implementing the strategy.
