Damning findings have been released after a review into New Zealand Football, upholding complaints made by members of the Football Ferns about the organisation's conduct and culture.

The report found now former coach Andreas Heraf offended, humiliated or intimidated players and had breached human resources policies on harassment as well as bullying.

The report also found that 12 current players would have walked away from the squad if Heraf remained as coach.

Former Football Fern Christie Hill told Mike Hosking it is good the recommendations have been made public.

"There is a sense of relief amongst the players, and they can now move forward and put this behind them."
