Football was contested as part of the programme for the 2013 Island Games which was hosted in Bermuda from 13 to 19 July 2013. It was the seventh edition of the women'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 14 July 2013 and ended with the gold medal match on 18 July 2013. Greenland and hosts Bermuda contested the final. Bermuda defeated Greenland 5–4 on penalties to win the gold medal. As there were only three entrants, no bronze medal match was played and Hitra were awarded the bronze medal.

Background

Football had been part of the Island Games programme following the debut of a senior men's competition at the 1989 Island Games in the Faroe Islands. Previously, 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 women's tournament was held at the 2001 Island Games held on the Isle of Man. [1]

The Faroe Islands and Åland held the record for gold medals having both won the women's football tournament three times. Åland were three-time defending champions after defeating the Isle of Man 5–1 in the gold medal match at the 2011 Island Games on the Isle of Wight. However, they would not be able to defend their title as they did not enter the women's football tournament at the 2013 Island Games. [1]

Format

A total of three teams took part in the competition. They contested a single round robin group which would determine the semi-finalists and the team receiving a bye to the gold medal match. The winning team from the group would receive the bye to the gold medal match while the teams finishing second and third would contest the semi-final. The loser of the semi-final would win the bronze medal. [2]
