The Mariners were travelling to Perth for their round 26 clash against the Glory before their flight was diverted to Adelaide Airport due to smoke appearing in the cabin.
The plane landed safely and a Mariners spokesperson tweeted that they expect to arrive in Perth later this afternoon with plenty of time to prepare for Saturday's match.
"Our team's flight from Sydney to Perth has had to land in Adelaide due to smoke in the cabin. Everyone is safe & sound," a club spokesperson tweeted. "News from Adelaide is that they will be back in the air shortly heading to Western Australia. A slight detour as we go for Glory!"
