Travel & Accommodation
FNSW will not be sending our Futsal State teams together as a camp/group booking. Players, families, and coaches will need to be book and organise their own travel and accommodation arrangements to Melbourne. FNSW believes this allows flexibility on our player and their families wanting to travel the opportunity to go down earlier or possibly stay after the event.
Below is an accommodation package for the La Trobe University where the 2023 NFC is expected to take place.
