When Tyler Bindon stepped onto the pitch for New Zealand's World Cup opener against Iran, it wasn't just a debut, it was a family milestone. 👏⁣ ⁣ 

Tyler and his mom, former Football Ferns goalkeeper Jenny Bindon, became the first-ever mother-son duo to play at a FIFA World Cup. 🤯⁣ ⁣ 

Jenny represented New Zealand at the Women's World Cups in 2007 and 2011, while Tyler made his Men's World Cup debut on Monday as the All Whites battled Iran to a 2-2 draw. ⚽⁣ ⁣ 

The athletic genes run deep: Tyler's dad, Grant Bindon, captained New Zealand's national volleyball team, and Jenny later moved the family to California after joining UCLA's coaching staff, a move that helped Tyler develop through LAFC's academy system. 🌟

⁣More than two dozen father-son duos have played at the World Cup, but the Bindons are the first mother and son to share that distinction. 🥹⁣ ⁣

Now, Tyler's writing the next chapter of the family's football story on the world's biggest stage. 🔥⁣ ⁣
