Central Coast Mariners renew partnership with Coast Sport

CMM and Costal Sport renew partnership

The Central Coast Mariners (CCM) have recently announced the continuation of their partnership with Coast Sport Performance Health Services for their CCM program.

Central Coast Physiotherapy, operating as Coast Sport, is a Central Coast-based performance health group dedicated to delivering first-class therapy and performance services.

Their goal is to become leaders in providing world-class Allied Health and Sports Medicine services.

They achieve this through premium healthcare delivery featuring clinical excellence, evidence-based practice, gold standard technologies and integrated multidisciplinary patient management.

This partnership will provide expert medical and physiotherapy care to youth development at CCM, primarily focusing on the academies. Making sure youth players have the best care and are educated on their bodies.

CCM expressed their excitement at this renewal on their social media channels.

“We’re thrilled to announce Coast Sport – Performance Health Services as a returning partner in our MCC program! With their exceptional physio services, Coast Sport plays a vital role in supporting the health and performance of our Central Coast Academy athletes,” via CCM official media release.

“Their continued commitment to athlete care is integral to our development pathway, ensuring our players receive the best support on and off the field. We look forward to this continued partnership and the success it will bring!”

Physical health is crucial to the development of players and to keep them in good condition to excel in football.

The strains on young players’ bodies in academies means that good physiotherapy done by experts in the field is crucial to the longevity of the players.

It is an integral part of building a successful and inviting academy, players and importantly their families need to believe they are receiving support in all forms of development.

It’s also key that young players are educated on their own bodies and make sure they understand how to maintain their ability and make sure they suffer no serious injuries.

This collaboration renewal also demonstrates how the A-League club supports local community businesses.

Using local businesses even for such an integral part of development as physical health shows commitment to the region.

Partnerships like this help clubs build strong relationships with the local community and solidify their integral position as a symbol of the local business environment and society.

IMG takes commercial lead on inaugural FIFA ASEAN Cup

IMG has been appointed to lead the global commercialisation of the inaugural FIFA ASEAN Cup, giving the new Southeast Asian national-team competition an established international sports business partner ahead of its first edition.

Under the strategic partnership, IMG will manage worldwide media and sponsorship rights sales while also overseeing broadcast production for the tournament, which takes place from 24 September to 5 October across Indonesia and Hong Kong, China.

The inaugural competition will feature 14 national teams, including all 11 ASEAN members alongside guest nations, with matches split between two divisions. Division 2 fixtures will be played in Jakarta and Badung, while Division 2 matches will be played in Hong Kong.

The agency’s role will include selling sponsorship and media inventory internationally while helping establish the broadcast infrastructure required to present the tournament to audiences outside Southeast Asia.

The partnership builds on IMG’s existing strategic relationship with PT Garuda Sepak Bola Indonesia, which has been working with the Football Association of Indonesia since 2025 on areas including commercial strategy, media rights, production and digital development.

For FIFA, the tournament creates another international football property in a region with a large and increasingly connected football audience.

For IMG, it adds another major regional property to a football portfolio that already includes competitions and organisations across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa.

The immediate challenge will be turning the inaugural tournament into a sustainable commercial property capable of attracting broadcasters and sponsors beyond its first edition.

If successful, the FIFA ASEAN Cup could provide Southeast Asian national teams with a recurring commercial platform while giving IMG another foothold in one of football’s developing markets.

GIS Sydney continues to connect students with Australia’s sports industry

Following the launch of its Sydney campus in 2025, the Global Institute of Sport (GIS) is continuing to establish itself in the nation’s sports industry. A leading provider of degrees and executive education in sport, GIS provides students the chance to study at two of Australia’s biggest sporting venues: Allianz Stadium and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

Programs such as Sports Analytics and International Sports Business are delivered in collaboration with the University of Newcastle, and feature the chance for students to gain exclusive access to the sports industry.

More than 50 guest speakers have shared their experience with students studying at GIS Sydney, representing organisations like FIFA, Red Bull, Cricket Australia, and the AFL. While learning about the regional and national sports industry in the classroom, students have also had the chance to gain an international perspective through GIS’ signature Global Sports Summits, which have given Sydney students access to iconic sporting venues around the world from London to Miami.

Outside of the iconic venues students can call their classrooms, the organisation prioritises the real, industry placements needed to put theory into practice by providing each student with 140 hours of relevant work experience throughout their studies. Included in this are several sporting organisations who are keen to welcome GIS students on board, including the Professional Football Scouts Association (PFSA), Football Coaches Australia, and Basketball NSW.

GIS also has a partnership with popular network and app Yakka Sport to connect students with paid employment opportunities while they study.

Behind these advancements at the GIS Sydney campus is an Industry Advisory Board which features a host of experienced figures from the world of sport. Included in the Asia-Pacific branch is Chair James Rosengarten, GM of the Melbourne Renegades; Kevin Jang, Managing Director of CAA Stellar Korea; and Brad Lloyd, GM of the Carlton Football Club.

Since launching, GIS’ Sydney campus has ultimately combined its locations and industry connections to provide the next generation of sports professionals with the knowledge, network, and confidence to tackle the rapidly evolving sports industry.
