Richard Peil, chairman of football club Central Coast Mariners, is looking for an investor to help bolster the finances of the A-League Champions.

The Australian team, which hosted the England women’s World Cup team during the tournament, won the A-League 2022-23 season. Despite the victory, Peil says it lost around A$3 million ($1.9 million) that year.
