Marconi worked its way through Australian qualifying and then a play-off against New Zealand’s Waitakere City to be this regions representative at the 2009 edition of the tournament.
The tournament will feature 20 of the best U15 teams from all around the world.

In the round-robin format, Marconi went through undefeated with three wins and draw and in the final against Brimbank, proved just how dominant they were with a 5-0 win.
In the play-off against Waitakere City in May, Marconi proved too good with a 2-0 win in Sydney.
