Preparations for next year's Olympics in London is being started by Britian team as they are confronting against New Zealand at Wembley Stadium in a special fundraising event for the victims of the Christchurch earthquake.
Approval has been already received by David from world governing body FIFA for a "Football for Hope" to support the people affected by the earthquake in Christchurch last month, which killed 166 people with more than 30 still missing.
"FIFA have approved the concept of a 'Football for Hope' match," Chung told the Sunday News in New Zealand.
"Despite the wish to do it quickly in a rush to confirm something, it's going to take a bit of time.
"One thing we've floated is if Great Britain could put an Olympic side out in preparation for the 2012 Games.
"If New Zealand played at Wembley, being conservative, even if you only sold 40,000 tickets [roughly half capacity] at £30 ($66), that's £1.2 million ($2.6 million)."
