The Phoenix have been based in Australia for the A-League football season due to the Covid-19 pandemic and haven't been home since November. That all changes today with the team due to touch down at Wellington Airport at 2.30pm. Phoenix general manager David Dome said they're really looking forward to welcoming the team ahead of the big game. Dome said they're also hoping to get a big crowd to the match which is the only game in Wellington this season.
