TheJersey Football Association is affiliated to the EnglishFootball Association.
Jersey’s main football stadium isSpringfield Stadium located inSaint Helier, Jersey. Matches have been played at that site for over a century; the current stadium has grandstand capacity for 982.[1][2]
The Jersey Men's Team's main fixtures are currently the annualMuratti Vase against fellowChannel IslandersAlderney andGuernsey. As of the 2025 Muratti Vase, Jersey has won the tournament 57 times out of the 107 times the tournament has been held.
The team participates in the biennialIsland Games, having first entered in the1991 Island Games. They have won the competition on four occasions, in1993,1997,2009, and2023.
As they are not affiliated to eitherFIFA orUEFA, the Jersey official football team is not eligible to take part in qualification for both theFIFA World Cup and theEuropean Football Championship.
Players from Jersey are however known to be eligible for all fourHome Nations national teams[3] (England,Scotland,Wales, andNorthern Ireland) in those competitions.Graeme Le Saux chose England among those options.
In December 2015 an application was submitted to UEFA to allow Jersey to take part in international matches,[4] following on fromGibraltar's admission two years earlier.[5] In October 2016, Jersey's bid to join UEFA was rejected,[6] but this decision was appealed to theCourt of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in June 2017.[7] In September 2017, the CAS ordered theUEFA Congress to hear Jersey's case.[8] In February 2018 a majority of the member associations of UEFA voted against admitting Jersey as a member.[9] An independentParishes of Jersey team subsequently formed in August 2018, joiningConIFA in September that year.[10]
In 2023, it was rumoured byGreenland ManagerMorten Rutkjær, that Jersey were interested in joiningCONCACAF.[11]
A technically separate team operated by the island's top league, theJersey Football Combination, have entered several editions of theFA Inter-League Cup against representative teams of various English tier 11 leagues and Crown Dependency leagues, winning the cup twice (2011–12 and 2019–20) and qualifying for an international UEFA tournament, theUEFA Regions' Cup, by virtue of that. Their best placement in the Regions' Cup has been being 2nd in their group in the2013 UEFA Regions' Cup intermediary round. Many players have played on both Jersey teams, and some have played on both teams and on theJersey Bulls that have entered the English league systems.
Players known to have played in the 2023 Island Games, the2023 UEFA Regions' Cup,[12] and for the Bulls in the2024–25 Combined Counties Football League season[13] include Adam Trotter, Euan van der Vliet, Jay Giles, Jonny Le Quesne, and Luke Campbell.
