Background
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. The first men's football tournament was held at the 1989 Island Games in the Faroe Islands. The Faroe Islands won the first two editions undefeated but have not competed since their win at the 1991 Island Games in Åland. Jersey were the defending champions after defeating the Isle of Man 5–1 in the gold medal match at the 1993 Island Games held on the Isle of Wight.[1]
