Mariners Coach Phil Moss concedes next year’s AFC Champions League will be one of their toughest yet.
The Central Coast side has been handed a challenging draw in Group F, alongside two-time J-League champions Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Korean heavyweights FC Seoul.
The final team to complete the group is yet to be determined, with the qualifying playoffs still underway.
The Mariners broke a club record last year, making it through to round 16 of the Asian premier competition, only to be knocked out by trophy winners Guangzhou Evergrand.
