TheGibraltar national football teamis the representativeassociation footballteam ofGibraltar,aBritish Overseas Territorylocated at the southern tip of theIberian Peninsula.Its governing body is theGibraltar Football Association(GFA) and it competes as a member of theUnion of European Football Associations(UEFA). Organised football has been played in Gibraltar since the 19th century.[1]The GFA first applied for UEFA membership in 1997 which was rejected, as UEFA would only allow membership for applicants recognised as sovereign states by theUnited Nations.[2]They were unsuccessful in their second application in 2007 when only three of UEFA's 52 associations voted in their favour.[3]In October 2012, they reapplied for membership which was granted in March 2013.[4][5]Before 2018 the team's home ground,Victoria Stadium,did not meet UEFA'sstandards for competitive internationals,although it could be used for internationalfriendlies.Gibraltar's first full international was played at theEstádio Algarve,located betweenFaroandLoulé,Portugal, which Gibraltar used as their home stadium for competitive matches between 2014 and 2018, and again from 2023.[6]
Gibraltar's first announced matches were two friendlies scheduled for 5 March and 26 May 2014 as a home-and-away series againstEstonia.[7]They subsequently scheduled a match againstSlovakiafor 19 November 2013 which became Gibraltar'sofficial debut,the match ended 0–0.[8]In 2014 Gibraltar entered its first major international competition: thequalifying roundsforUEFA Euro 2016,they lost all ten matches, scoring 2 goals and conceding 56, therefore failing to qualify for the main tournament.[2]On 13 May 2016, Gibraltar was accepted as a member of theInternational Federation of Association Football(FIFA) after its original application in 2014 was denied;[9][10]as a result Gibraltar was allowed to participate in thequalification processfor the2018 FIFA World Cup.[11][12]
