List of Gibraltar international footballers

The Gibraltar national football team is the representative association football team of Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It is controlled by the Gibraltar Football Association (GFA), the governing body of the sport there. It competes as a member of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA). They first applied for UEFA membership in 1997 which was rejected, as UEFA would only allow membership for applicants recognised as sovereign states by the United Nations.[1] In October 2012, Gibraltar reapplied for membership and it was granted in March 2013.[2][3] Gibraltar played their first official international fixture on 13 November 2013, a 0–0 draw with Slovakia in the Estádio Algarve, Portugal.[4]
