So after this China series what are the players doing from now till July? Do you think they’ll remain in Australia till the Paris camp begins? There’s some decent off season time off now which would be good for them.
They’ll get about two weeks off. As another anon said, the ones based in Europe will definitely be flying back and then probably going on vacation with their partners from there. The ones who don’t need to be back in Europe will probably just stay unless they have plans to holiday somewhere else. A guarantee though is probably that everyone will be having a vacation of some kind whether it’s in Aus or elsewhere
Agree with all this. I reckon the Europe players may spend a week with fam, decompress with family after their long seasons, and then as has been said, pop off back to Europe to go on holidays for a week with their partners (although now that Macca and Kirsty have just spent a week in Greece, Caitlin & Katie and Ellie & Daan are the only two that spring to mind). EVE and Torps are in-season so guess they'll go back to play in games. Same with Polks.
Looking into what they did in Tokyo (baring it mind it was Covid, but still think it'll be similar) they had a transition camp in Sweden that started a month before the Olympics did, and then 2 weeks out from the Olympics they flew to Japan for their final camp and had one last game against Japan.
Applying that to this year. A month before the Olympics is exactly June 25th, which is nicely a Monday. So potentially 2 weeks somewhere in Europe and then they'll move to France for the final 2 weeks before their first game, and line up one last prep game against one of the Olympic teams in the FIFA July window (just prob not the US, Germany or Zambia).
