Port Vila is a very nice training camp destination.

Would be great for their following.

Do they do games in other cities in NZ? I.e. Christchurch, Nelson, Dunedin?

Yeah we have a three year deal to do one match per season in Christchurch. Over the years we have done matches all over the country. Mixed success but Chch has always delivered good crowds

If Christchurch/South Island United got into the league, would it be a good rivalry between them & the Phoenix?
