New Zealand Football is set to receive around $13 million in funding from FIFA over the next four years via the governing body's development programme.

The record-breaking investment in football comes as FIFA expects to generate just over $17 billion between 2023 and 2026.

The money each of the 211 member associations will get is a 30 percent increase on the previous four year cycle and will be a game-changer for smaller football nations.
