«The Mariners»
Central Coast Mariners finished the 2023–24 season with the Premiership already secured, then beat Melbourne Victory 3-1 in the Grand Final for the Championship, and followed it by lifting the AFC Cup against Al-Ahed in the final.
The Mariners have played in the A-League since 2004. Mile Jedinak arrived at the club as a young midfielder in 2006 and left it as Socceroos captain; goalkeeper Mat Ryan won the Joe Marston Medal in the 2012 Grand Final before going on to become Australia's first-choice keeper. Matt Simon, a forward through those same years, remains the club's all-time leading scorer with 66 goals.
Newcastle Jets are the oldest rival, met in the F3 Derby, named for the corridor linking Gosford and Newcastle, and the fixture rarely passes without an edge to it.
Central Coast Mariners play in yellow and navy blue at Central Coast Stadium in Gosford, a ground with a capacity of 20,059, where the club is known simply as the Coasties.
