The Menorca football team represents the island of Menorca, one of the Balearic Islands in Spain. As a part of Spain, Menorca is not affiliated with FIFA or UEFA although players from Menorca are eligible to play for the Spain national football team.
Menorca is a member of the International Island Games Association and has taken part in the Island Games. The team made its debut at the 2007 Island Games held in Rhodes, Greece. At the 2015 Island Games, Menorca achieved their best finish after winning the bronze medal.
The Menorca Island Games Association joined the International Island Games Association in 2005 allowing the island to compete from the 2007 Island Games held in Rhodes, Greece.
Menorca made its debut in the men's football competition on 30 June 2007 at the Kalythies Stadium in Kalythies, Rhodes, losing 1âÂÂ0 to Jersey. They lost their other group stage match 2âÂÂ1 against Gibraltar but defeated Ynys Môn 6âÂÂ1 and Saare County 4âÂÂ1 to finish 9th overall.
They returned at the 2009 Island Games held in àland and built on their previous experience. Despite going through the group stage undefeated, they missed out on a place in the semi-finals after a draw with hosts àland. Menorca finished seventh overall after defeating the Western Isles 4âÂÂ1 in their placement play-off match.
At the 2011 Island Games held on the Isle of Wight, Menorca were again eliminated in the group stage. Their match against Rhodes was awarded in their favour after Rhodes were disqualified for their poor disciplinary record in the first two group matches. Menorca defeated the Isle of Man on penalties to again finish seventh.
Menorca missed the 2013 Island Games in Bermuda but returned for the 2015 Island Games in Jersey. Menorca won their group on goal difference to advance to the semi-finals for the first time. After a defeat to Guernsey in the semi-finals, Menorca recorded a 1âÂÂ0 victory over Shetland to win the bronze medal.
They came close to retaining their bronze medal at the 2017 Island Games in Gotland. A 6âÂÂ0 win against Alderney in their final group match saw them win the group on goal difference by a single goal. They lost to Greenland on penalties in the semi-finals and missed out on a medal after a 1âÂÂ0 loss to Guernsey in the bronze medal match.
Menorca did not take part in the 2019 Inter Games Football Tournament in Angelsey, held as a replacement for the 2019 Island Games which did not have football on the programme due to a lack of facilities in Gibraltar.
They returned for the 2023 Island Games in Guernsey but recorded their worst overall result. After winning their opening game against Saint Helena, they lost their remaining group phase matches before losing their placement play-off 2âÂÂ1 against the Western Isles as they finished 12th.
Menorca withdrew from the 2025 Island Games in Orkney due to the cost of travel and accommodation.
