Confirmed, the Phoenix will head to Darwin for an Australia Cup playoff if they finish in the bottom four. The two playoffs will be played at Darwin Football Stadium on May 13 and 14, during the A-League Men finals series. Losers miss out on the cup.

Auckland playing finals.
We'll (likely) be playing in fudgeing Darwin.
I know what I'll be watching! 😄
probably both knowing you ;-)
is this sort of our finals? are these games between A-League sides only? I'm fearing an NPL reversal
This is our finals series!
Only the bottom four A-League sides involved, sounds like the two winners make the Cup for later on in the year, the others are knocked out. So at least we don't have the excuse of it being pre-season this time round.
Also, Auckland watching is maybe 40% of what I watch of the Nix. 😜
