The Guernsey Football Association has announced that the 2025 Muratti Cup will be hosted at Guernsey’s new home of football, Victoria Park, on Saturday 17^th May.

The fixture marks a historic moment for Guernsey, and Inter-Insular football, with Victoria Park setting the stage for the highlight of the football calendar for the first time. Once again, both the Men’s Final and Women’s Muratti, sponsored by Close Finance, will take place on the same day as the three islands compete for victory at the island’s newest sports venue.

The inter-islands tournament will kick off with the Women’s Muratti match between Guernsey and Jersey at 10:30am, with the Guernsey FA looking to retain the title after claiming a deserved victory in Jersey last year. Following on, at 3:00pm, the Men’s team will be battling to regain the famous trophy in what will be the 107^th staging of the Muratti Vase Final. The fixture will see a clash between hosts Guernsey and either Alderney or Jersey. Guernsey’s opponent will be confirmed after the semi-final match in Alderney on Saturday 22^nd March.

Guernsey FA’s Chief Executive, Gary Roberts, commented:

“This is such a special year for the Men’s and Women’s Muratti competitions, as it marks the first year that both fixtures will be played at our new purpose-built stadium, Victoria Park. We all know how much ‘Muratti Day’ means to players, supporters, and everybody else involved, and this year will be a once-in-a-lifetime moment to experience senior Muratti football being introduced to Guernsey’s new home of football

“By holding both matches on the same day, we hope to create an electric atmosphere for fans from across the islands at our new home venue. As always, we invite Guernsey’s home crowd to turn out in force to support both matches, helping to create a truly memorable day for Channel Islands football.” 

Rob Jones, Victoria Park Director, said:

“Victoria Park’s inaugural Muratti Day marks a monumental chapter in Guernsey’s football history and the realisation of a 10-year dream to give Guernsey its first home ground especially for moments like this.

“We can’t wait to welcome fans from across the islands for the first time in May for what promises to be a truly memorable day of competitive football.”
