Governors Athletic F.C. are a football club from the Isle of Man. They compete in the Isle of Man Football League and they wear a red and white striped kit. They currently play their home games at Station Fields in Colby.

History

Governors Athletic were founded in 2014. For their first season they played their home matches at Nobles Park in Douglas. For the 2015–16 season, Governors Athletic secured the new 3G pitch at Bemahague and played first official league game there on 15 August 2015.

The first team achieved its first victory on 10 September 2016, with a 1–0 victory against Michael United A.F.C. A 94th-minute goal from Andrew Zola Ronan sealed the win.

In the 2020–21 season Governors moved to the south of the island to play at Station Fields in Colby. Governors had their best season to date with both senior teams finishing in mid-table positions breaking records from previous seasons including a record 17-0 win against Pulrose United. Governors also changed sponsors for this season and will be sponsored by Express Fixings & Fittings (Home kit) & Quirk Brothers painters & decorators (Away Kit)

The 2022-23 season was a tough one for Governors only having one team entered into the league for the season. The team was a mix of players including few first team players, combination players and even masters players just to get enough to play each week. The club stuck together through the difficult season getting just one point from a 1-1 draw against Gymnasium FC.
