CONCUSSION AND HEAD INJURIES

This guideline was produced by New Zealand Football (NZF) in consultation with medical, sport and research experts and was informed by the Sport Concussion in New Zealand - National Guidelines via the 2022 Amsterdam Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport. This guideline has been developed to ensure safety in community football where there is minimal and often delayed access to medical support for concussion and head injuries.
