Bahrain are going to warm up for the second leg of their
2010 World Cup play-off against New Zealand on November 14 in Australia.
With New Zealand's capital and host city Wellington getting increasingly excited about the South African decider, Bahrain will escape the hype and spend five days in Sydney.
The Reds will head east across the Tasman Sea just two days before kick-off.
The first leg ended goalless in Manama, leaving everything to play for.
Reports in New Zealand suggest that the team will head down under by private jet in an attempt to nullify the effects of the lengthy trip as much as possible.
Bahrain’s General Organisation for Youth and Sports (Goys) is trying to ensure that there will be a few Red supporters in the sold-out 35,000 West Pac Stadium.
The body will help 80 Bahrain students attend the match and all are excited.
Goys president Shaikh Fawaz bin Mohammed Al Khalifa is confident that the team’s class will make the difference.
"We've learned a lot from the last game," Shaikh Fawaz told the Gulf Daily News.
"This time, we certainly have more experience. We've got the will and fighting spirit to make it.
"Whoever watched the game in Manama saw that we dominated; we were clearly the better side. We created a lot of chances but missed. Hopefully these chances will not go to waste in New Zealand."
