Background
Football had been part of the Island Games programme following the debut of a senior men's competition at the 1989 Island Games in the Faroe Islands. Previously, a five-a-side youth football tournament was held at the inaugural games in 1985 held in Douglas, Isle of Man but football was completely absent from the programme at the 1987 Island Games held in Guernsey.[1]
The Faroe Islands, Jersey and Guernsey held the record for gold medals having won the men's football tournament twice although the Faroe Islands have not competed since their win at the 1991 Island Games in Åland. Guernsey were two-time defending champions after defeating Ynys Môn on penalties in the gold medal match at the 2001 Island Games held on the Isle of Man and then the Isle of Man 3–1 in the gold medal match as hosts at the 2003 Island Games.[1]
