Guernsey cheers on Le Tissier at Euro 2025

Football fans across Guernsey are gearing up to cheer on Maya Le Tissier at live screenings of England's UEFA Women's Euro 2025 group-stage matches.

Le Tissier, 23, who is believed to be the first Guernsey-born player, male or female, to represent England at a major senior tournament, now captains Manchester United.

She began her football journey at just four years old with St Martins Athletic Club.

The club will be screening England v France on 5 July; England v Netherlands on 9 July and England v Wales on 13 July.

Training alongside boys and coached by her father, Le Tissier stood out, eventually becoming the first female to play for Guernsey's under-16 boys' team, said Matthew Warren, from St Martins AC.

He said her selection for England's Euro 2025 squad, announced on 5 June, marked a milestone not just for her career but for Guernsey sport as a whole.

"To see Maya go from our local pitches to captaining Manchester United and now representing England is incredibly inspiring," he said.

"Her journey is a testament to her talent and determination, and we're proud to celebrate her achievements with the whole community."
