ABOUT US

Inaugurated in 2004, Central Coast Mariners FC is proud to be the first ever professional sporting entity to represent the Central Coast region on a national and international sporting stage.

As a foundation team in the Isuzu UTE A-League, we are one of twelve sides competing annually for the ultimate prize in Australian Club football.

The Central Coast Mariners also have a Liberty A-League team, with the side re-introduced into the competition for the 2023/24 season.

As a club, our goal is to become the most innovative, entertaining and community minded sports brand in Australia.

We regularly pledge our support to a variety of initiatives that we believe enhance not only our Club brand, but also the lives of people within the Central Coast community. We are the community club who call the beautiful Industree Group Stadium home.

On the pitch, Central Coast Mariners have been one of the most successful teams in the history of the Isuzu UTE A-League. With three A-League Championships, three A-League Premierships, six A-League Grand Final appearances, four AFC Champions League campaigns and one AFC Cup campaign, in which we lifted the trophy in 23/24.

The 2023/24 season was the most successful in the club’s history, and the most successful in Australian history as we became the first A-League team to ever win a treble with the A-League Premiers Plate and Championship, plus the AFC Cup.

Our record is strong, and our future bright.
