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.

About The Salford Residence

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.
