Footballers to benefit from new agreement

Thursday, 27 February 2014 00:00

A new memorandum of understanding between two footballing bodies will ultimately complement Manx football.

That’s the view of the Isle of Man Football Association which has welcomed the agreement with the Manx International Football Alliance.

It will come into force on 1^st June until the 31^st July and sets out specific conditions for MIFA’s activities.

Chief executive Frank Stennett says he’s happy a resolution has been reached:
