That's why I wondered about the Aussie bit, not realizing the league they played in wasn't NZ. | |

Wellington to Perth is what you call a proper away day. |  | | |

The A league is a big step up from NZ domestic comp & offers pathway to major leagues in Europe. Best Wgtn player of recent seasons signed for Bayern Munich - Sarpreet Singh, now on loan in div 2.
NZ has teams in football, league & basketball leagues in Aust - even won the basketball for a few seasons.
Perth trip is massive one but Sydney to Auckland is closer than Sydney to Perth. |  | | |

Actually, they don't. They play at Kogarah Oval while the government spend oodles of money on re-building the "Sydney Football Stadium". And that is actually in Moore Park and not Paddington.
So, to answer your question.. best we not.
Also, to add to my Kiwi brother, the Phoenix are currently playing in Wollongong while this COVID is on and not in NZ. They also, strangely, tend to have a bigger number of young Aussies playing for them than Kiwis. Mind you, with the latest outbreak in Sydney, they and Newcastle may be the only NSW teams to play when the league gets going again in a few days time. |  | | |

That is the beauty of some of the locations in Sydney and Melbourne.Everything is so close together that you can visit different sporting venues very easily.
Especially Melbourne.When I got there a few days before the Ashes test in 2017,I had a walk along the river to the MCG and the tennis arena,and they were next to each other.We also went to see the Melbourne derby at the football opposite. | | | |

Extra complication, as far as FIFA is concerned, NZ is in Oceania, Australia is in Asia. Apparently the Asian Federation wanted the A-League to kick out Wellington, because, straight lines. |  | | |

Frightened the beejeebas out of me when I heard the Phoenix had signed him. Remembering all those matches he didn't turn up for the Rs. Perhaps this will be more his level. Bit warmer in the winter too.  | | | |

The Asian Dub Foundation want Swansea and Cardiff kicked out of the championship for similar reasons. At this stage, they don't take Wrexham seriously. | | | |

If I am not wrong, Wellington Phoenix does not compete in any domestic competition in NZL, i think it is a club founded basically to play in Australian league and cup competition, as is its predecessor Auckland Kingz / New Zealand Knights / Football Kingz. I don't think they can qualify for any Asian Club competition being "foreign" and "Oceania"
There is a club called Team Wellington FC that participates in NZL - not related |  |

That’s right, the World Club Championship generally boasts the second best team in NZ as Oceania’s representative. Auckland City were supposed to be Qatar last month. Even if the Phoenix won the A League they wouldn’t be allowed into the Asian Champions League. | | | |

I wish people would stop making silly, uneducated comments. Wellington Phoenix are in the top NZ football competition. My Kiwi friends must be rolling their eyes!

Ok, it is their youth/reserves who are in NZ and cannot get to Wollongong to join the 1st team, but this team represents the Phoenix and not some other entity. If they were to win the League, then the Phoenix would be the NZ representative in the Oceania playoff for the CWC. | | | |

I wish people don't be so salty...which part of my comment is silly?
1. Wellington Phoenix does not compete in any domestic competition in NZL - CORRECT - - it is THEIR YOUTH TEAM that competes, which is verified by you
2. i think it is a club founded basically to play in Australian league and cup competition, as is its predecessor Auckland Kingz / New Zealand Knights / Football Kingz - CORRECT
3. I don't think they can qualify for any Asian Club competition being "foreign" and "Oceania" - CORRECT. They were allowed till end of 2011 after that no
4. There is a club called Team Wellington FC that participates in NZL - not related - CORRECT Also
Each statement is correct, except I didn't mention their youth/reserves team because that is basically..... a reserve/youth/trialist team. Don't roll you eyes till they fall out. | |
