Football For All is a clear statement from The English FA (The FA) about how diversity and inclusion underpins everything that they do.

This expectation flows down through the County FA’s and into the c.100,000 grassroots teams across the nation. 

As the governing body for the largest sport on the Isle of Man, we recognise the responsibility and privilege we have to develop, govern and regulate the local game.

We therefore publicly commit to promoting, embedding and advancing equality, diversity and inclusion throughout Manx football.

Our equality, diversity and inclusion strategy is a fundamental part of our overarching Business Strategy 2024 – 2029. It is designed to weave through all our governance and operational plans year-on-year to accelerate progress towards our strategic targets.

We are focusing our efforts on:

1. Incremental increase in the overall sense of feeling welcomed, respected and included in IOM Football, with emphasis on race and cultural differences,
as measured by the Annual Business Strategy Survey.

2. Increasing participation of women and girls in every aspect of the sport including players, coaches, referees and spectators, to support reaching
targets set out in Business Strategy and measured by data held on Power BI.

3. Increasing number of disability players to support reaching targets set out in Business Strategy and measured by data held on Power BI.

Alongside all other County FAs, we have committed to publish our DIAP and use it to check and balance the work we to progress towards our strategic ambitions.
