Wellington Phoenix, the New Zealand-based club in the A-League, says it has been given the OK to relocate to Australia to finish the season. The A-League has been suspended since March 24 but is set to resume on July 16, with the remaining 27 games played over a 28-day period to make up for lost time during the lockdown for the coronavirus pandemic. The Phoenix players and coaching staff will travel to Australia on Saturday and go into two weeks in quarantine in New South Wales state, adhering to COVID-19 restrictions, before fine-tuning for their first match back against league-leading Sydney on July 17.
