+xRay Gatt tweet Everyone forgetting that the Mariners will field a WL team next season so no room for southern expansion WL side The Central Coast Mariners have received confirmation from the Football Federation of Australia (FFA) that they will not be moving to a ten team format for the 17/18 Westfield W-League season – delaying the introduction of a CCM W-League team. The FFA confirmed the following: - The 2017/18 season will remain a nine team competition and this position will be reviewed again in 12 months time;
- There remains the opportunity for the Mariners to return to the competition in the 2018/19 season;
- That the provision of additional change rooms at Central Coast Stadium prior to the 18/19 Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League seasons is paramount to CCM successful inclusion in the W-League competition.
- Adequate player facilities (change rooms) are fundamental for FFA to ensure Central Coast Stadium can host Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League double headers.
