Frits Poelman[1] is a former football (soccer) player who represented New Zealand at international level.[2]
Poelman played two official A-international matches for the New Zealand in 1954,[2] both 2-1 wins over New Caledonia, the first on 31 August, the second on 14 September 1958.[3]
In club football for Hamilton Technical Old Boys, Poelman played alongside brother Klaas Poelman, who played two representative matches for New Zealand but gained no A-international caps.
Poelman played in an Auckland provincial team who recorded a notable win at Blandford Park over FK Austria Wien, many time club champions of Austria. In contrast to the 7-1 loss recorded by the New Zealand national side. The provincial side packed with immigrants not eligible for New Zealand national football team selection, recorded a convincing 3-0 win.[4]
