FC Isle of Man to face Brackley Town in first pre-season friendly

Ravens to host National League opposition in Ramsey

FC Isle of Man has confirmed its first pre-season friendly ahead of the 2025/26 season.

'The Ravens' will face Vanarama National League side Brackley Town at the Ballacloan Stadium in Ramsey on Saturday, 12 July, kicking-off at 2pm.

It'll be the third consecutive year that both sides have faced each other in a pre-season meeting on Manx shores.

In 2024/25, a disappointing second half of the season saw FC Isle of Man eventually finish 15th in the NWCFL Premier Division.

Meanwhile, Brackley Town enjoyed a historic campaign in which they secured their first ever promotion to the National League.

Next month's fixture comes less than a week before the Island side's other confirmed preparations for its next campaign in the NWCFL Premier Division.

The 2025 Summer Festival of Football will take place at The Bowl in Douglas from 18-20 July which will feature FC Isle of Man along with EFL League Two side Fleetwood Town; National League outfit Altrincham and National League North's Radcliffe FC.
