The Mariners are thrilled to announce that Central Coast based major partner Mars Food Australia have reaffirmed their saucy relationship with the Club, extending their major partnership via the MASTERFOODS brand for the Hyundai A-League 2016/17 season.
Mariners and football fans alike can be assured that the iconic MASTERFOODS sauce bottles will continue as a mainstay in front of Central Coast Stadium’s palm trees.

“At Mars Food we believe in building strong communities and the benefit that comes from bringing people together to share great food and experiences. Through our partnership with Central Coast Mariners we bring the largest regular gathering of our community on the Coast to life,” Poll said.
“We are proud to be part of the beautiful Central Coast, and of our long standing relationship with The Central Coast Mariners and look forward to a great 2016/17 season,” he said.
