GIBRALTAR

Gibraltar is tiny. It has an area of 2.6 square miles, less than a tenth the size of Anguilla

Its population is 32,194, so as you can see it’s pretty densely peopled. However, this is still a small number and must limit its possibilities to climb the ladder.

Gibraltar only joined UEFA in 2013 and FIFA in 2016. They haven’t won a game yet and have barely scored any goals. They are in danger of joining San Marino as the European whipping boys.

There are many who think that admitting Gibraltar to the upper echelons of football wasn’t a good idea. Time will tell.

Given the British links with the country, it will be no surprise that some players in the Gibraltar squad are UK-based. Torquay United, Dartford, Scunthorpe United, Canterbury City and Alfreton Town all feature players from the Rock.
