Group Two of the men’s tournament appears to be very competitive, with reigning champions Isle of Man alongside five-time finalists Ynys Mon, 2005 gold medallists and 2015 semi-finalists Shetland and the Falkland Islands.
Group games will take place from 9-11 July – the top-seeded sides in the group stages will play in semi-finals in Thursday, 13 July, with the final and bronze medal match on Friday, 14 July.
“Everyone is aware of the growing popularity of the women’s game, particularly following England’s success in the Euros last year, and we look forward to welcoming the nine visiting women’s teams, along with the 15 visiting men’s teams, for what we anticipate will be very competitive competitions,” said Guernsey 2023 football coordinator Gary Roberts.
“The football organising committee is progressing well with preparations for the competitions, and this includes plans to introduce a £125,000 pitch maintenance equipment bank that will be used to ensure the pitches at College Field, Corbet Field, Northfield, Blanche Pierre Lane and the Track are in the best possible condition.”
