New Zealand Football president Phil Barry is open to making the process of electing members to its executive committee more transparent in the future. NZ Football has had a fully-elected ExCo since late 2014, when it completed a reform process that brought it into alignment with Fifa, the global governing body. After a list of nominees was requested from NZ Football, a spokesman said it had never made one public before, but Stuff has since discovered that a full list was published ahead of the first ExCo election in November 2014. He also said ExCo hadn't had any discussions about making the election process more transparent ahead of this year's congress. Barry said NZ Football had asked this year's candidates whether they would allow their names to be published but several of them had said they would not.
