FC Isle of Man summer festival to begin today

Ravens being joined by three other teams for series in Ramsey

FC Isle of Man's 2026 Summer Festival of Football gets underway in the north of the Island later today (17 July).

'The Ravens' will be joined by EFL League Two side, Shrewsbury Town; National League North club, Radcliffe and Bury of the Northern Premier League for a series of matches today (17 July) and Sunday (19 July).

This will also mark the first pre-season action on the pitch for the Manx side ahead of the 2026/27 NWCFL Premier Division season beginning on Saturday, 1 August.

New FC Isle of Man Manager, Lee Dixon, explains what he wants to see from his players this weekend and how preparations so far have been this summer:

The festival will take place at Ballacloan Stadium in Ramsey - the first match between Shrewsbury Town and Radcliffe will get underway this afternoon at 3.30pm.

That will be followed by FC Isle of Man taking on Bury tonight from 7.30pm.

There will then be a rest day tomorrow (18 July) before two matches on Sunday (19 July) which will be held on that day at 11am and 3.30pm - the teams to take part in each of Sunday's ties will be determined by results today.

Tickets are available both on the gate at the stadium and via the FC Isle of Man website.
