Football in the Isle of Man

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Football has been played in the Isle of Man since the end of the 19th century. The national association was founded in 1890[1] and oversees all aspects of association football on the island. The association is responsible for organising all national cup competitions, most notably the Isle of Man FA Cup, and the management of the Isle of Man Football League.

Although, as a Crown Dependency, the Isle of Man is not a part of the United Kingdom, the local Isle of Man football association is affiliated with the English FA, and acts as a County Football Association. Due to their affiliation with the English FA, the Isle of Man are not members of FIFA or UEFA and are therefore not eligible to enter either the World Cup or European Championship. The Isle of Man therefore is limited to different forms of competition.

Since 2019 F.C. Isle of Man have competed within the English football league system, starting in the NWCFL Division One South – although due to COVID restrictions on the Isle of Man, did not take part in the 2020–21 season - their first full season was the 2021-22 season.

League system

The Isle of Man Football League is the national football league for teams of the island. The league has two levels consisting of 13 teams each, the Premier League and Division Two. The league is organised by the Isle of Man Football Association but the winning team(s) cannot enter the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League, due to the island's lack of membership.

Cup competitions

As well as the league, there are also many domestic cups in the Isle of Man:

The Isle of Man is not a member of UEFA or FIFA so the national team cannot enter the European Football Championships qualifiers or the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The island meets the criteria needed for membership to UEFA, but not much interest has ever been announced. As with the other Crown Dependencies, the Isle of Man Football Association has county status within The Football Association.

The Isle of Man official football team is a representative team of Isle of Man Football Association players and tends to play small-scale matches against other non-FIFA teams. They are also quite successful in the Island Games, winning silver on three occasions. The team play their home games at The Bowl in Douglas.

In 2013 an alternative national side, the Ellan Vannin football team, composed of Manx players only. The team was created to allow entry into the ConIFA World Cup.
