Guernsey F.C.
Guernsey Football Club is a community football club located in St. Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands. The club was formed in 2011 and became a member of the Combined Counties Football League Division One for the 2011–12 season.
The FNB Priaulx League, currently operated by the Guernsey Football Association, has been the top level of football on Guernsey since 1893. In addition, a Guernsey team has competed in the annual Muratti trophy against fellow Channel Islands sides since 1905 and at the Island Games since 1991. In June 2011 the Combined Counties Football League accepted Guernsey into its Combined Counties Football League Division One. Level 10 in the English football league system. This made Guernsey the first team from the Channel Islands to compete in mainland British football, and the club funds the cost of both its own and other teams' travel to and from the island.
Guernsey-born former England international Matt Le Tissier was the club's president until his resignation in August 2014, whilst his brother Mark held the role until January 2023.

On 30 March the club also reached the final of the Premier Cup, beating Guildford City 4–2 after extra time. They went on to beat Colliers Wood United in the final after extra time 2–0.
Guernsey started their second League campaign in August when they played Croydon with an 8–0 win in the Combined Counties Football League Premier Division after securing promotion in the previous season. They also entered the FA Vase for the first time. Sky Sports returned to Footes Lane to film the Semi final first leg against Spennymoor Town on 23 March 2013. To get the pitch playable, a novel way to dry the pitch was tried, using a helicopter, copying an idea tried in Melbourne, Australia, 50 years earlier.
With 27 games postponed in the season due to Cup matches and the terrible winter weather, Guernsey were scheduled to play 17 games in April 2013, 23 games in 43 days.[citation needed] the last four matches of the season in four days. League results: 2012–13 Combined Counties Football League. Finishing the season in style, Guernsey earned promotion for the second season in succession.
Guernsey's entry into the FA Cup competition was confirmed, with certain conditions, including strict financial obligations, which have been alleviated with the 60Saviours campaign, whereby 60 individuals or groups pledge to support each game in the FA Cup and FA Trophy competitions.
