Football was contested as part of the programme for the 1995 Island Games which was hosted in Gibraltar from 15 to 22 July 1995. It was the fourth edition of the men's football tournament at the multi-sport event organised by the International Island Games Association.

Contents

The football tournament began with the first matches in the group stage on 16 July 1995 and ended with the gold medal match on 22 July 1995. The Isle of Wight and hosts Gibraltar contested the final. The Isle of Wight defeated Gibraltar 1–0 to win the gold medal. In the bronze medal match, defending champions Jersey defeated Greenland 6–3 after extra time.

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]

Format

Eight teams took part in the competition. They were drawn into two single round robin groups of four teams. The group winners and runners-up would contest the semi-finals which would decide the teams contesting the gold and bronze medal matches. Play-off placement matches were held for the teams finishing third and fourth in each group – the third-placed teams contested the fifth-place match and the fourth-placed teams contested the seventh-place match.
