Gibraltar national football team records and statistics

(Redirected from Gibraltar national football team records)

The Gibraltar national football team represents Gibraltar in association football and 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), which encompasses the countries of Europe. Organised football has been played in the country since the 19th century. Gibraltar 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. In October 2012, Gibraltar reapplied for membership and it was granted in March 2013.[1]

The Gibraltar team lining up before their 2013 match against Slovakia; the team's first official match as a UEFA member.

The list encompasses the records set by the team, their managers and their players since joining UEFA in 2013. The player records section itemises the team's leading goalscorers and those who have made most appearances in first-team competitions. Gibraltar's record appearance maker is Liam Walker, who has made 81 appearances since 2013. Walker is also the record goalscorer, scoring six goals in total. All figures are correct as of the match played on 8 September 2024.
