The club also confirmed former Socceroos assistant Ante Milicic as their inaugural coach.
Milicic, the current coach of the Matildas, will remain in charge until the conclusion of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, before assuming his role as Macarthur boss.
“Being an expansion team and being given the opportunity to be the inaugural coach is something massive, just to be given the trust to take the team forward,” Milicic said.
“This is a great opportunity to come back home to come to an expansion club that has some really good plans and a lot of excitement around them.
“There’s a lot of positivity around and I really can’t look any further than that. It’s something I’m really pleased to be part of.”
