In the aftermath of the [[1934 Franclinton earthquake]], a large portion of Whitecastle Park was destroyed as well as most of Insulamia's training grounds. The reconstruction of the stadium took four years to complete. During this time, the Insulamia national football team moved to {{wp|King George V Park}} in {{wp|St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador|St. John's}}, {{wp|Canada}}. The team chose a site in Canada because the only other suitable stadiums in Insulamia at the time were in [[Éteaux]] and the fully-English-Insulamian squad did not feel comfortable in French Insulamia, as most of them could not speak {{wp|French_language|French}}.

====Relocation to Le Noustade====
There are talks of relocating Insulamia's home ground to [[Le Noustade]] in [[Châteaublanc]] to reduce English Insulamian biases in association football and because the stadium is the country's largest with a capacity of 82,964. This idea was strengthened by the move to change Insulamia's {{wp|Capital city|capital}} from Franclinton to Châteaublanc. However, the IFA states that there are no official plans for the relocation yet.

Crest

The crest of the Insulamia national football team features a stylised Telstar football fused with a fleur-de-lis, a national symbol of Insulamia. The colour scheme of blue and yellow is based on the national colours of Insulamia. The crest was designed by David Rotterdam in 1972. Prior to 1972, Insulamia's kits displayed either the coat of arms of Insulamia, the flag of Insulamia, or a yellow fleur-de-lis.

Home stadium

Insulamia's official home stadium is the Riddlepark in Cabot, Henria, and has been for most of its existence. It had existed before the establishment of the team as a park and was chosen as the home grounds of Insulamia at its founding. A stadium was initially built on the site in 1911 and it has been rebuilt four times and renovated six times since, the most recent of which being the 2018 Riddlepark renovation for the FIFA World Cup. Since the 1960s, the team has also often played home games in and various other venues across the country. The stadium has a capacity of 55,230 and is also the home ground of Cohenia Football Club.

In the aftermath of the 1934 Cabot earthquake, a large portion of the Riddlepark was destroyed as well as most of Insulamia's training grounds. The reconstruction of the stadium took four years to complete. During this time, the Insulamia national football team moved to King George V Park in St. John's, Canada. The team chose a site in Canada because the only other suitable stadiums in Insulamia at the time were in Éteaux and the fully-English-Insulamian squad did not feel comfortable in French Insulamia, as most of them could not speak French.

Media coverage

All Insulamia matches are broadcast live on television networks FBN Sports, Téléquipe, Cassidy Sport, and Channel 7, as well as on the IFA's website. Insulamia matches in the World Cup, European Championship, and Nations League are broadcasted live on FBN One, Télégraphique, and the Cassidy Network.

Nicknames

The Insulamia national football team is popularly referred to by the nickname The Engles (French: Les Angles), after the colloquial term referring to English Insulamians. The name is in contrast to the nickname The Frenchies (French: Les Franchiers), a colloquial name for French Insulamians that also refers to Insulamian rules football players. These names come from the fact that Insulamian rules football originates in French Insulamia and that association football is more popular in English Insulamia.
