The Isle of Man Football squad will be staying together in a hotel tonight ahead of tomorrow afternoon's National League Systems Cup semi-final against Midland Combination at The Bowl.
It's a deliberate move to recreate the feeling of an away fixture, as this is the first home game for the Manx side in over three years.
Manager Kevin Manning is expecting a tough encounter, and with all league matches postponed, is appealing for a big turn-out of supporters:-
FC Isle of Man to begin new year with Chadderton test
Hockey: Opening fixtures of 2026 campaign confirmed
Rugby: Ramsey and Vagabonds on the road to start new year
Football: Ecap FA Cup clashes to kick off 2026
