Biography
Nineteen year old Annalie Longo has played in more FIFA tournaments than any other New Zealander; Germany 2011 will be her sixth age-group or full World Cup. A veteran of three U-20 and one U-17 Women’s World Cups as well as the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup in China, Longo just needs an Olympic appearance to complete the ‘set’.

Longo made her full New Zealand debut aged just 15 years old (and 136 days), setting a new record as the youngest ever Football Fern.   Her appearance against Denmark in the 2007 World Cup made her the second youngest player, of either gender, to play at a senior World Cup (she was 16 years and 76 days old).

An accomplished tap dancer, the former Epsom Girls Grammar student has won national age-group titles in her ‘other’ sport, something she credits for helping her on field footwork.
