Our Residence

Stay in safe, modern, and comfortable accommodation at our residential football camp. Only a 20-minute drive from the City Football Academy, our residence is where you’ll eat, rest and relax following a long day of football fun.

The Salford Residence, known as Peel Park Quarter, is high-quality accommodation owned by the University of Salford. Located a short distance from the City Football Academy, we arrange for players on our summer programmes to be collected from and dropped off here daily by a private coach.

On our spring programmes, players can expect to stay at a local hotel, twin room. Details about this hotel will be provided once you’ve booked onto a programme.

During your stay at the Salford Residence, you’ll have a private bedroom with an en suite and double bed all to yourself - perfect for unwinding after an eventful day at the Academy. It also includes a study desk should you want to swot up on what you’ve learnt during the day, wi-fi access so you can easily connect with home, and plenty of wardrobe space to store your football boots!

That said, our dedicated Activity Manager will typically arrange something fun like a movie night or BBQ. The residence even has a communal laundry room too. Don’t worry though, players aren’t expected to wash their football kits themselves - we’ll sort that all out for you!
