Liberato Cacace sees potential for New Zealand in World Cup group stage

Liberato Cacace, Wrexham wing-back, expressed confidence that New Zealand can perform well in the upcoming World Cup, where they are among the lowest-ranked teams. The All Whites will compete in Group G against Iran, Egypt, and Belgium, with their first match scheduled for June 16 in Los Angeles. Cacace noted the importance of taking it one game at a time and aims to impress by facing top players like Mo Salah. Despite injury setbacks limiting his appearances this season, he highlighted the squad's commitment to making their country proud. New Zealand has previously participated in two World Cups but has yet to secure a victory in those tournaments.
