Jersey Football Combination


The Jersey Football Combination is the senior football league on the island of Jersey and is run by the Jersey Football Association.
Although the league is affiliated with the English FA, it does not form a part of the English [football league system].
Each year, the league champion plays the champions of Guernsey's Priaulx League for the Upton Park Trophy.

History

The Jersey Football Combination League was established in 1975 after a merger between the Jersey Football League and the Jersey Saturday League. The JFCL were initially independent from the Jersey Football Association.
Originally, the Jersey Football Combination consisted of five divisions, with the Premiership and Championship open to first teams, with separate leagues for reserve sides.
However, from the start of the 2015-16 season all first-team sides play in the Premiership, with a mid-season split into two divisions.
However, after one season this was scrapped and the format changed again. From the 2016-17 season onwards the top 8 teams play in the Premiership and the other 7 teams play in the Championship.
The Jersey Football Combination also selects a side to play in the FA Inter-League Cup. In 2012, the Jersey team qualified for the 2013 UEFA Regions' Cup. where they were eliminated in the group stage.
In 2019, after nearly 20 years of ongoing discussions, it was finally agreed that the JFA and Jersey Football Combination would finally merge together, with the JFA finally taking over the running and organisation of league football on the island. The 2019–20 season that followed was the first under the organisation of the FFA.
