As a result of today's extreme weather condition, today's Mens match against Macarthur Bulls has been postponed to tomorrow, Sunday 18th January. Kick-off is scheduled for 2pm.
This makes the Men's match to be the first of a double header with the Women's match against Perth Glory to be played as originally scheduled with kick-off at 5pm.
Weather permitting, this means that the OSC Marquee will be on Dane Drive from 12:30pm.
Also, please be aware that ticketing for tomorrow's matches "will operate under general admission seating, with no allocated seats. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please follow directions from polytec Stadium staff at all times." as announced on the Mariners' website.
If you purchased tickets for today's match and cannot make the rescheduled match tomorrow, you are able to request a refund via the Ticketek website.
We encourage all OSC members to come to the stadium and stay for both matches to show the APL, potential new owners and others that our wonderful club matters to us fans.
Today the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) has taken over interim management of the Central Coast Mariners FC while a new owner is found.
This action was taken by the APL as the operator of the Mariners notified the APL of the forfeiture of the Club Participation Agreement (CPA). In turn, the APL has taken steps to terminate the CPA with that operator.
With this news hitting the socials and other online resources, the CCM Official Supporters Club (CCMOSC) Committee is asking that fans stay strong and calm.
Other clubs have been through this - Perth & Newcastle being the most recent - and they are still around!
There are many rumours around that may or may not be true but what we need to do is to show that our Club is important to us on the Coast!
The players & staff who have been working week in/week out during this season need our support more than ever and CCM has assured us that the APL are here to support the Club and fully committed to the next steps to secure a sale.
It is worth mentioning that a representative of the CCMOSC Committee has been in contact with CCM Management. In addition, key representatives of CCMOSC membership have received an email from the APL. The common denominator in these communications is the commitment for the APL to “support the club” and that they are “fully committed to the next steps of securing a sale”.
Therefore, the CCMOSC Committee would like to urge all fans to show your support for our wonderful football club by being at the games on the weekend.
CCMOSC will provide further updates as they become available.

The Mariners Men’s and Women’s teams both played away games with the Women bringing a win home from Newcastle along with the F3 Derby Trophy, while the Men suffered a loss in the West.
The Women’s match was played first with kick-off delayed by two hours due to the extreme heatwave conditions.
Newcastle started strongly, keeping Mariner’s goalkeeper Annalee Grove busy. Grove made some excellent saves to keep the score at 0-0.
The Mariners had their own chances, but it was Newcastle who would go into half-time with a lead, scoring in the 2nd minute of extra time.
The second half started well for the Mariners, and it only took 8 minutes before the score was level. Prakash laid the ball off to Peta Trimis whose shot from just outside the penalty box looped over the Newcastle goalkeeper.
The Mariners second goal would come in the 70th minute. Trimis was again involved, placing a neat cross in the direction of Annalise Rasmussen. Rasmussen was able to get her left foot to the cross, deflecting the ball into the net and making the final score 2-1 to the Mariners.
The Men were visiting Perth with hopes of repeating the win that they earned earlier in the season. Unfortunately, a win would not be repeated, losing 3-0.
Goals to Perth in the 24th, 45th+1 and 54th minutes earned all three points for the home side.
Statistics for the match would tell the tale with the Mariners having 11 shots but none on target, compared to 22 shots for the home side with 9 on target.
The next matches for the Mariners side are both home matches at polytec stadium.
First up, our Men play their Round 13 match on Saturday, 17th January 2026. Our opposition is Macarthur Bulls with kick-off scheduled for 6:00pm (AEDT).
Unfortunately, this is not a double header with our Women playing their Round 13 match on Sunday, 18th January 2026. Their opposition is Perth Glory with Kick-off scheduled for 5:00pm (AEDT).
