The Central Coast Mariners announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Polytec, take on the role of front-of-shirt sponsor for the Mariners’ A-League Men’s team for the next five seasons.
The five-year agreement, set to begin from the upcoming season, marks the most significant commercial deal in the club’s history.
Polytec, which started on the Central Coast, has grown into a prominent name in Australian manufacturing and distribution of decorative surfaces, celebrated for its commitment to quality and sustainability.
This partnership reflects the shared values of excellence, innovation, and community engagement that both polytec and the Mariners hold dear.
The new partnership will soon be visible to fans, as polytec’s branding will be featured on the Mariners’ kits for the 2024/25 A-League Men’s season, with the unveiling of the new design expected in the coming weeks.
In addition to the sponsorship, the Mariners’ academies will now carry the Borg name, further reinforcing the company’s commitment to community development and local talent support.
This initiative underscores both organisations’ dedication to nurturing the next generation of football stars and making a lasting impact in the Central Coast region.
The recently appointed CEO of Central Coast Mariners, Alyssar Narey, discussed the many benefits of this collaboration.
“We are thrilled to welcome polytec to the Mariners’ family. As a National Australian brand with founders who are from the Central Coast, their dedication to innovation and excellence aligns perfectly with our club’s values,” Narey said in a statement.
“This partnership not only strengthens our team’s presence on the field but also highlights our commitment to forging strong relationships with leading businesses in our community.
“The direction and new initiatives we are undertaking as a club are greatly supported by this partnership. Naming rights to our academies align perfectly with our community pillar, enhancing our ability to nurture local talent and contribute positively to the community.”
Managing Director of the Borg Group, John Borg, shared his pride in the collaboration.
“We are proud to partner with the Central Coast Mariners, a club that embodies the spirit of our community and excellence.” Borg said in a statement.
“At Borg, we strive to be leaders in our industry, and this partnership with the Mariners allows us to support a team that shares our passion for community, success and innovation. We look forward to a strong collaboration over the next five years.”
This partnership is one that presents fantastic opportunities for both parties on and off the field. The goal for them is to deepen community engagement and enhance the prospects of the Central Coast region, which will be fantastic for the local community.
