Central Coast Mariners Partnership

Erina Fair announces new partnership with Central Coast Mariners Football Club

Sydney, 12 September 2023

Erina Fair today announced a new partnership with the Central Coast Mariners Football Club for the 2023/24 season. The partnership will provide the well-renowned Central Coast A-league club with a space to connect with the local community and their supporters, and further strengthen their shared goal of building healthy communities.

Established in 2004, the Mariners are known for investing heavily in grassroots community activity on the Central Coast, both through the Mariners Academy and its affiliation with local sporting clubs. The national club now boasts a Central Coast member base of more than 5,500 supporters and will soon be expanding into the Liberty A-League Women’s competition for the 2023/24 season.

As another asset for the local community, Erina Fair has already been a place for the Mariners to gather, connect and celebrate. The centre welcomed the team home to the Central Coast after their grand final win in the A-League season in June, drawing a crowd of more than 3000 people at Erina Fair’s Hive community space.

As a result of the official new partnership between Erina Fair and the Central Coast Mariners, members and supporters can look forward to new promotions, giveaways and community events over the coming months in the centre, including the co-branding of the Mariners Kids MyClub membership launching later this month.

Erina Fair Centre Manager Stephen Ross is pleased with the partnership stating:

"We’re proud to be on board as a community partner with the Central Coast Mariners this season. The team has a central place in the local sporting community and their work with junior sporting organisations and schools shows their commitment to leaving a positive legacy.

“Building on the success of the champion celebration earlier this year, this partnership at Erina Fair will provide our Central Coast community with more opportunities to connect with a local favourite team.”

Shaun Mielekamp,  Mariners CEO is also looking forward to the partnership stating: 

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Erina Fair, the Central Coast's premier shopping complex. This collaboration is grounded in our shared commitment to giving back to the community, a value that we eagerly anticipate championing together.

“With Erina Fair as an official partner, we have the opportunity to further extend our outreach within the Central Coast community. We are delighted to welcome them into the Mariners Family, and we look forward to the positive impact we can create together.”
