The Jersey Football Association is affiliated to the English Football Association, as they are not affiliated to either FIFA or UEFA, the Jersey official football team is therefore not eligible to take part in qualification for both the FIFA World Cup and the European Football Championship.
In December 2015 an application was submitted to UEFA to allow Jersey to take part in international matches,[1] following on from Gibraltar's admission two years earlier.[2] In October 2016, Jersey's bid to join UEFA was rejected,[3] but this decision was appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in June 2017.[4] In September 2017, the CAS ordered the UEFA Congress to hear Jersey's case.[5] In February 2018 a majority of the member associations of UEFA voted against admitting Jersey as a member.[6] An independent Parishes of Jersey team subsequently formed in August 2018, joining ConIFA in September that year.[7]
In 2023, it was rumored by Greenland Manager Morten Rutjkær, that Jersey were interested in joining CONCACAF.[8]
Jersey Men's Team main fixtures are currently the annual Muratti Vase against fellow Channel Islanders Alderney and Guernsey, as well as the biennial Island Games.
