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.”
