TheGuernsey Football Association, also simply known as the Guernsey FA or the GFA, is the body that co-ordinates and organises the sport offootball inGuernsey. Although, as aCrown Dependency, Guernsey is not a part of theUnited Kingdom, the local FA is affiliated with theEnglish FA, and acts as acounty football association.
The organisation runs theGuernsey national football team (which competes in theMuratti Vase and theIsland Games), the Guernsey league representative XI (which competes in theFA National League System Cup) and thePriaulx League, the main league competition on the island.
The representative XI won the National League Cup in 2010 and qualified for theUEFA Regions Cup, where they were eliminated in the group stages in Macedonia. Following this run, the GFA proposed to establish a club which would join theEnglish Football Pyramid in an attempt to offer the island's senior elite players the opportunity to progress further and test themselves at a higher level. In 2011Guernsey F.C. was created.[1]
The Guernsey FA is based atThe Corbet Field (home of Member ClubVale Recreation F.C.), inSaint Sampson, Guernsey.
Chris Schofield was appointed Chairman[2] in 2010 and replaced Mark Le Tissier who left to set up Guernsey F.C.
In March 2012, formerOxford United FC trainee, Angus Mackay, was appointed as the football development officer.[3]
