Swansea City midfielder Marko Stamenic will head to the World Cup next month after being named in New Zealand's squad for the tournament.

Stamenic, 24, is one of eight players who play club football in the English leagues included in the All Whites' 26-man party.

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood is the most well-known of those players, with Braintree Town defender Tommy Smith and Wrexham's Liberato Cacace among others who have received the call.

New Zealand, who have qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 16 years, will face Belgium, Egypt and Iran in the group stage of the tournament, which is being co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July.

New Zealand will meet Haiti and England in warm-up friendlies in early June.

Stamenic impressed at Swansea in 2025-26, his first year at the club following a move from Forest.
