"Should this prove we have clearly made a mistake then there will be an investigation," Martin added."
"We will take whatever action we need. This is a costly mistake if it's proven to be a mistake."
"If someone has made a genuine mistake we'll deal with it."
Martin said they filled eligibility forms for each player for the Pacific Games and believed the entire squad was cleared to play in the tournament, which was both run as part of the Games and as an Olympic qualifier.
Martin said that New Zealand Football are to appeal on two fronts, that the Pacific Games was running the tournament not Oceania Football and all players were cleared with the Pacific Games before the tournament. NZF are also appealing the interpretation of the rule which saw Wynne deemed ineligible.
The timeframe for the appeal is 15 days.
"We believed we were fully compliant and acted in good faith."
Martin said shortly after the semifinal win over Vanuatu the Oly Whites team manager was shown a 'typed un-headed paper notice of protest'. A copy was sent to New Zealand the next day but due to technical issues in Papua New Guinea it wasn't received until later in the day.
After making a protest it wasn't until the next morning, the day of the final, that NZF found out that OFC had a meeting to decide that New Zealand has been disqualified from the tournament.
NZF went to Fifa who said it was up to OFC to make the decision.
Martin apologised to the side who didn't concede one goal in the tournament.
"I'd like to apologise to them and the football family. It's not what we expected. We expected to be here today celebrating our qualification for the Olympics," Martin said.
"Whatever has happened here, football isn't the winner."
