Taiwan invited the New Zealand women's national football team to hold the "2025 Chinese Women's International Football Invitation Tournament" at Kaohsiung Nanzi Football Field on the evening of April 8 at 6:30 PM. However, after an on-site inspection, the match was ultimately canceled due to the venue's conditions not meeting expectations. Chen Peiyu, former deputy secretary-general of the Football Association and current legislator's office deputy director, expressed great dissatisfaction, calling it a "national disgrace."

The New Zealand women's national football team announced the cancellation of the match on April 8 due to venue safety issues via their official social media yesterday. The New Zealand Football Association emphasized that they continued to communicate with the Taiwan Football Association during the inspection process. Although the stadium staff made efforts to improve the grass conditions, they ultimately could not meet safety standards, thus forcing the cancellation of the match. The Taiwan Football Association stated in their post that the venue conditions did not fully meet both parties' expectations, leading to the final decision to cancel the event.

The Football Association pointed out that after arriving in Taiwan, the New Zealand team conducted multiple inspections of the venue conditions and suggested re-sodding the field. The venue strengthened manpower to aid in improving the grass conditions during the Tomb Sweeping holiday, but after the overall assessment by the New Zealand team, they still decided not to participate in the event. The Football Association expressed regret over this and explained that the only venues currently meeting international match standards are the Taipei Athletic Field and Kaohsiung National Sports Stadium, but due to prior bookings for other events last year, they could not offer a venue for this event. A full refund process has been initiated, and they apologized to the fans.

In response to this incident, the deputy director of Chen Peiyu's office harshly criticized it as a "national disgrace" and pointed out that the news of the cancellation from practice matches to official matches was announced by New Zealand, highlighting the incompetence of the Football Association. Many Taiwanese netizens left comments apologizing under New Zealand's post, expressing regret over the venue situation, and some fans also criticized the Football Association on its Facebook page, expressing disappointment with its performance and hoping for improvement.
