History


Mariya made their debut on 20 January 2018[3] against NZ Maori, losing 3–2 in a 'Clash of the Cultures' match at McLennan Park, Papakura.[4] The following year they competed again at the 'Clash of the Cultures', this time held in Wollongong, where they beat the South Coast Police Force 8–1 and an African Nations FA team 6–2 but fell to defeat against semi-pro team Wollongong Wolves 2–0.[5] The senior men's NZ Maori team did not compete.[6] On 18 January 2020, at the third iteration of 'Clash of the Cultures', Mariya drew 1–1 with NZ Maori after a 90th-minute equaliser following a Mariya goal in the 73rd minute.[7] Mariya would have competed at the 2020 CONIFA World Football Cup in Skopje, North Macedonia had it not been canceled for COVID-19 reasons.[8] They are coached by Jade North, the first indigenous Australian to captain the Socceroos.[1]
