We’re delighted to report that Gibraltar has now been granted full UEFA membership. At UEFA’s Congress in London on 24th May, the majority of the 53 existing member countries voted in favour of Gibraltar joining their number.
“This is a momentous occasion for football in Gibraltar,” said Gareth Latin, President of the Gibraltar Football Association. “UEFA membership means that we can begin the next chapter of Gibraltarian football.”
Membership will mean that the Gibraltar FA will now be a part of the UEFA family and will be able to offer the Gibraltar football community the best possible future and development needs. Gibraltar, a country with one of Europe’s oldest Football associations and with a staggering 10% of the population actively involved in football, has long wished for this accreditation.
“At last, we’ll be able to show the whole of Europe that we can match the best with football of a high standard and entertaining style. It will open up a whole new world of opportunities for our highly skilled young footballers.” Gareth Latin went on to say, proudly adding: “This is one of our greatest ever sporting moments and, of course, we’d like to thank everyone who helped with our bid and all those who voted for us. We couldn’t have made it without you.”
— a Gibraltar, Gibraltar.
