Isle of Man official football team
Since they are not a member of either FIFA or UEFA, they are not eligible to enter either the World Cup or European Championship.They won the tournament in 2000, beating Scotland 1–0 in the final, despite the Isle of Man possessing the only truly all-amateur set-up while the other teams fielded semi-professional players.The Isle of Man beat the Cambridgeshire Football Association County League team 4–0 in the final and represented England in the UEFA Regions' Cup.As opposed to the official Isle of Man team, which is composed only of Isle of Man Football League players, Ellan Vannin will allow only those with Manx ties to play for them, in line with FIFA eligibility rules.Initially, the IoMFA was reluctant to allow MIFA to run the Ellan Vannin side, but the two associations agreed to work together in February 2014 to allow both the IoMFA side and Ellan Vannin to continue.
