I couldn’t verify a 2026 selection date for the NZ Under-19 soccer team from the available information, so I can’t give a confirmed answer.

What I can say is that New Zealand Football has public 2026 U19 programme activity, but the result I found does not include an actual squad announcement date. For now, the safest answer is that the selection timing is still unconfirmed from the sources I could access.

What this likely means

  • The squad may be named closer to the relevant U19 tournament or camp window.
  • Selection notices for age-grade football teams are often posted by the national body rather than widely covered in mainstream news.
  • If a date has been set, it would most likely appear in a New Zealand Football announcement first.

Best current status

Item| Status
---|---
2026 NZ Under-19 soccer selection date| Unconfirmed 12
Public evidence of U19 programme activity| Yes 12
Squad announcement found in accessible sources| No 12

TL;DR: There’s no confirmed public date in the material I could verify, so the selection is currently best described as unannounced.
