Isle of Man FA - developing football for everyone
Development - take your skills to the next level

Women and Girls

Girl's and Women's Football is now the most popular female sport in the country and is still the fastest growing.  In the last season 133,000 players competed in affiliated league and cup competitions.

FA research has shown that more than 1.5 million girls under the age of 15 played some form of football over the past 12 months and it is our aim to engage those girls in competitive school teams or youth clubs.

On Monday 14th July a Womens League Meeting was held at the IOMFA HQ. This was to discuss how the women's league would develop in the 2008/2009 season.

For details from the meeting please see the related document.

Women's football on the Isle of Man started back in 1999 with the Douglas Royal the first winners of Division 1 and DHSOB the first division 2 winners.

Since then, the female game has progressed on a huge scale with the arrival of girl's leagues within the Junior League. 

 

To develop women and girls' football even further the IOMFA is currently considering offering a female only referees course, please contact Kerry Penswick on the details below if you are interested.
