BRATISLAVA (Reuters) - Jersey's bid to become UEFA's 56th member will be put to vote on Monday although the island's football association says the aim was not trying to get regular glamour matches against Europe's top national teams.

Phil Austin, president of the Jersey FA (JFA), said he wants Jersey's top players to be able to play against sides of the same level rather than try to take on the likes of Germany, Spain and France.
