2019 Inter Games Football Tournament

The 2019 Inter Games Football Tournament was an association football tournament which was held between 15 and 22 June 2019 in Anglesey, Wales. It was organised due to the hosts of the 2019 Island Games, Gibraltar being unable to run a tournament due to lack of pitches.[1] As football is one of the most popular sports at the games it was decided to hold the matches elsewhere, albeit with the results not officially part of the Island Games history.[2]

Ranking of second-placed teams

Joining the three group winners in the semi-finals, the final semi-final slot is awarded to the best-ranked runner-up. As Group A contained one more team than the other groups, the result of the Group A runner-up against the Group A fourth-placed team is not taken into consideration. This was Jersey's 7–0 win over the Western Isles.
