The Isle of Man national women’s team has named a 25-woman training squad ahead of a packed summer schedule.
Manager Wayne Lisy has picked the group ahead of friendlies against Preston North End and FC United of Manchester, the side will then travel to Guernsey for the Cherry Godfrey Cup in June.
Lisy said: “The coaching team and players are really looking forward to the months ahead.
“With friendly matches confirmed against Preston North End (away) on May 9 and FC United of Manchester (home) on May 16, these fixtures will provide excellent preparation ahead of our trip to Guernsey in June for the Cherry Godfrey Cup, where we hope to retain the trophy.”

A triangular tournament on home soil will follow these games in July.
Lisy added: “Preparations are also underway for a triangular tournament here on the island in July, with two visiting teams set to compete against our women’s side.
“This mini-tournament will help maintain our football momentum as we begin to look ahead to the Island Games 2027. It will also give me the opportunity to provide valuable game time to players not selected for the Cherry Godfrey Cup squad.
“All in all, it promises to be a fantastic summer of football for our national women’s team.”
