Nineteen participants completed, in a randomized order, two simulated SHAT, 1\u2009week apart, each lasting 4\u2009h and 2\u2009h, followed by a control condition (CON). Generic (10\u2010m sprint, repeated sprint ability; RSA, countermovement jump; CMJ), sport\u2010specific performance (Hoff Test, Loughborough Soccer Passing Test; LSPT), and psychophysiological responses (sleep, heart rate variability [HRV], salivary cortisol and immunoglobulin\u2010A [sIgA], and perceptual recovery) were evaluated before (Baseline) and after each condition. Compared to Baseline, RSA and 10\u2010m sprint declined by 3.5% and 6%, respectively, on the day after travel (D\u2009+\u20091) (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001 and\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Likewise, CMJ and total distance covered during the Hoff test decreased by 5.5% at D\u2009+\u20091 (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). LSPT performance decreased only after the 4\u2009h flight (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Total sleep time was reduced the night before SHAT (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) compared to Baseline. sIgA was reduced on the day of the travel (DT) and D\u2009+\u20091 after both SHAT, while HRV was decreased at DT only after the 4\u2009h SHAT (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Mood states remained unaffected by travel, regardless of duration. We currently suggest that short\u2010haul air travel, whether 4 or 2\u2009h, induces psychophysiological perturbations and performance deterioration, likely due to the travel restrictive conditions and the inadequate sleep obtained the night before the flight. Since both flights were conducted early in the morning, more research is warranted to investigate the role of departure time on football performance.\n
