Football Australia warmly welcomes the return of the Central Coast Mariners, as the club re-joins the Liberty A-League Women’s competition for the 2023/24 season.
With a strong history of women’s football, the Mariners Liberty A-League Women’s inclusion will see access to the development pathway in the Central Coast region.
Football Australia’s CEO, James Johnson said:
“Football Australia is excited to see a team from the Central Coast return to participate at the national level in the Liberty A-League Women competition.”
“As we look ahead to the CommBank Matildas playing against Thailand in November and the FIFA Women’s World Cup™️ in 2023, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to supercharge women’s football in Australia. A Mariners team for a well-supported Central Coast region will demonstrate to young women and girls what dreams are possible and provide a platform for our national teams.”
The side will also be playing every match at the home of the Mariners, Central Coast Stadium. This is in line with an upcoming agreement with Venues Live.
Central Coast Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp is pleased to finally see the Mariners football ecosystem completed, after what has been a long road to have a Liberty A-League Women’s side enter the competition.
