Jersey's Football Association has launched a �1m four-year plan to try and raise standards in the island game.
The money, which comes from a combination of sponsors and the English Football Association, will be used to up standards and improve discipline.
The island's under-18s side played their Northern Irish and Scottish counterparts last season.
And the JFA hope the cash could encourage a better programme of fixtures for the senior side.
Jersey's senior team is no closer to a regular programme of competitive games since it pulled out of the South and West Counties Championship in 2006.
The island side played matches against the reserve and academy teams of Reading and Blackburn last season and have pencilled in a friendly against Blue Square South outfit Havant and Waterlooville for later this month.
We want to increase the opportinuties for all our players from across the age groups
JFA chief executive Paul Creedon
"While you can't force teams to come over here, when they see you're having a good game against teams like Blackburn and Reading suddenly they're interested and they want to come over," the JFA's chief executive Paul Creedon told BBC Radio Jersey.
Creedon is also hoping to increase participation amongst women and girls.
And he hopes to improve respect for match officials in line with proposals put forward by the FA's chief executive Brian Barwick whereby only team captains will be allowed to speak to referees.
"We're going to be using the 'Respect' campaign the FA are going to be releasing in the next few weeks," said Creedon.
"We want to increase the opportunities for all our players from across the age groups.
"We're doing pretty well at the moment. Last year we had the Scottish and Irish under-18 teams over here and I don't think there are many regions of our size that can say that."
