The island’s women’s side will be defending the Cherry Godfrey Cup next summer when the tournament heads to Guernsey.
The biennial women’s tournament was created to champion women’s sport, inspire the next generation of players and showcase the power of island communities working together.
Having won the tournament’s first edition in Jersey last summer, the Manx women’s team will compete against the Channel Islands and the Isle of Wight in June next year.
Tanzy Cherry, COO at Cherry Godfrey, said: “We were absolutely blown away by the incredible atmosphere, talent and team spirit at the first Cherry Godfrey Cup in Jersey.
“Seeing players, supporters and communities from across the islands come together to celebrate women’s football was really special and we can’t wait to see that same energy and passion again in 2026.”
“This tournament is about so much more than football – it’s about opportunity, pride and creating moments that will inspire future generations. We’re excited to see our islands come together once again and make the 2026 Cherry Godfrey Cup bigger and better than ever.”
Delighted
Gary Roberts, Chief EEO of Guernsey FA, added: “We are delighted that the Cherry Godfrey Cup 2026 will be held here at Victoria Park.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase Guernsey’s new ‘Home of Football’ facility on an inter-island stage and to welcome players, supporters and officials from across the islands.
“We are proud to be part of a tournament that shines a light on women’s football and strengthens the sporting ties between our communities.”
