Decision on Manx bid to be made next summer
The Isle of Man is 'perfectly ready' to potentially host the 2029 Island Games.
That's according to the International Island Games Association (IIGA) which is on Island inspecting Manx facilities after the Island made an official bid this summer to host the event in six years time.
The inaugural games in 1985 were held on Manx shores then again in 2001 - a decision on the latest bid for 2029 is expected in July next year.
IIGA Chairman, Jorgen Pettersson, says the Isle of Man has already proven it's ability to hold the event in the past:
Hockey: Manx women's O45's beaten against Timperley
Nominations open for 2025 Isle of Man Sports Awards
Football: Corinthians and Peel women take commanding cup wins
TT: Conor Cummins launches TT Team for 2026
Rugby: Vagabonds claim first win of season
