Football fans are being asked to turn Wellington's Westpac Stadium into a sea of white on Saturday, when New Zealand take on Peru in the first leg of the intercontinental playoff for World Cup qualification.
All Whites supporters group White Noise say it as the most important football game ofthe last four years.
White Noise's Tracey Hodge has asked fans to create a 'White Out' in in Wellington's Westpac Stadium.
"Seeing the entire stadium turn from its iconic yellow to white for the past two intercontinental playoffs was amazing," she said. "It would be great to see a sea of white again.
"Get a boiler-suit, hunt out the wedding dress, play doctor for the night, reuse the ghost costume from Halloween, heck - paint yourself white! It doesn't matter what, it just matters that it's white."
Yesterday we asked you to bring the colour and the noise. To help with the latter, here's some nifty tunes to belt out. Get involved. pic.twitter.com/uiCD1bmrmi

"We all have strong memories of that Bahrain game in 2009. It was a perfect mix of colour, noise and of course the result.
"It's rare we get chances like this on home soil so we need to make it count and give the team the best support we can."
