The 2023 Hawke's Bay club rugby finals are likely to get the yellow card from McLean Park in Napier while the stadium closes for six week for Fifa Women's World Cup football training.
Although not a match venue for the 32-nations, June 22-August 2 cup, the park is earmarked for use as a Team Base Camp, in a new move for Fifa tournaments.
With the draw not being done until October 22, none of the teams know yet whether they will be based in New Zealand or Australia.
It will only be then that officials from the participating countries will start checking out the shortlisted camp venues and deciding which they would prefer.
Napier City Council events manager Kevin Murphy said that at least one team is likely to call Napier home during the tournament.
