Wellington Phoenix have been told they must see out their remaining games in Australia.

Wellington Phoenix will fly to Sydney on Wednesday to begin a two-week stint in quarantine before taking a shot at winning their first-ever A-League championship.

The third-place Phoenix have confirmed they will see out the season in Australia after getting the green light from New South Wales health officials to train together while in isolation.

The Phoenix were originally scheduled to fly to Sydney on Tuesday but refused to leave until they received assurance the team would have the ability to train as a group.

Under the Australian government's new travel restrictions, put in place to curb the threat of Covid-19, anyone arriving into the country must self-isolate for 14 days.

"The decision to travel to Sydney in an attempt to complete this season was made as a club," general manager David Dome said.

"We have discussed this amongst ourselves, consulted with health professionals and government bodies in Australia and New Zealand and taken all possible precautions to ensure those travelling are given the best protection possible.

"We are also conscious that the situation is constantly evolving and it may all change again tomorrow, but we are making this decision with the best information we have available at this time.

"As things have continued to evolve rapidly over the past few days, all options have been investigated and it became apparent that suspension of the A-League was never an option."

Although players were given the option to remain in Wellington, Dome said the Phoenix have received buy-in from the entire team, including defender Luke DeVere, whose wife is expected to give birth later this month, and forward Ulises Davila, whose wife gave birth to their first child in Mexico last week.

"All players and coaching staff have elected to travel to Australia tomorrow," he said. "The club also recognises the impact that this will have on players and football operations' families, and a number of support measures are being put in place to assist them during this time."

Football Federation Australia is due to release a revised fixture list in the coming days, with the Phoenix's remaining home games to be played behind closed doors in Sydney.

As of Tuesday, there have been 210 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in New South Wales and three in Wellington.
