Iako ima 36 godina, Mata još uvijek aktivno igra za Western Sydney Wanderers u australijskoj A-League.
Ovim potezom, Mata slijedi primjer Davida Beckhama, bivšeg engleskog reprezentativca koji je postao vlasnik dijela MLS kluba. Međutim, Mata je prvi aktivni igrač koji se pridružio vlasničkoj strukturi kluba.

Really happy to announce that I’m a partner at the newest and most special franchise in the MLS! @sandiegofc
Many thanks to the ownership group, @right2dream and @MLS for allowing me to be the first active player to be a part… pic.twitter.com/gY4TyxnVib
Iako nikada nije igrao u MLS-u, Mata je prethodno nastupao u japanskoj J1 ligi prije nego što je prešao u Australiju.
