Some of my friends are wondering.
Asian cup (e.g. soccer)
Why would there be
New Zealand team
What's the point of this? Can New Zealand participate in the competition without being part of Asia? Let's find out together.
The New Zealand team is participating in the Asian Cup because they are a member of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), a consortium of soccer associations that includes Asian and some Oceanian countries. Although New Zealand is located in Oceania, they have joined the AFC as a member, which makes them eligible to participate in the Asian Cup, and that is why New Zealand is participating in the Asian Cup.
