Rosie White is about to score her first goal in New Zealand’s match against Colombia at the FIFA Women's Under-17 World Cup, played in Wellington on 4 November 2008. New Zealand won this match 3–1, but lost its other two games. The whole tournament was held in New Zealand; it was the first FIFA Under-17 World Cup for women. North Korea won the final, beating the United States 2–1. White went on to play 110 matches for the Football Ferns, scoring 24 goals.
