NZ Football (NZF) is holding a press conference this afternoon to discuss the future of Football Ferns coach Andreas Heraf, after complaints about his conduct.
Watch a live video of the media conference from 3pm here:
Earlier, NZF was instructed to not make any further contact with members of the national women's squad, in the wake of their complaints about the under-fire coach.
It is understood the New Zealand Professional Footballers Association made the request as part of what is considered "standard practice" in situations of this nature.
There were also concerns calls had been made by the national body during the past week in an attempt to convince the players to not file those formal complaints.

The players association made the request to NZF in a letter so any danger of corruption was eliminated ahead of a likely investigation into the team environment that has developed since Heraf took charge in December.
The national body confirmed on Tuesday they had received official complaints from several Football Ferns players, with the concerns believed to involve allegations of bullying, intimidation and unprofessional conduct.
