The Islanders are considered an important link between players and fans as they have been known organise community activities to allow the broader population to meet with the team.

The national team's home is the Davinson Sports Ground on Tuan. Due to the high level of aging infrastructure in the stadium, the national team is set to move into the Lapang National Stadium once it is fully constructed.
