Following is the factfile of New Zealand in FIFA Women's World Cup finals before their World Cup Group D opener against Brazil on Wednesday:
New Zealand have never won a match in a FIFA women's event. Their record is three defeats in World Cup 1991 (3-0 to Denmark, 4-0 to Norway, 4-1 to hosts China).
None of New Zealand's players were cautioned in their first World Cup appearance in 1991 in China.
In 2007 World Cup qualifying they won all three matches, scoring 21 goals and conceding only one.
New Zealand's qualification ensured that the World Cup 2007 will be a tournament without any newcomers.
