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]
As of 26 September 2022, Gibraltar have played 72 matches, winning 6, drawing 9 and losing 57. Gibraltar have played more matches against Georgia than any other international side, with six meetings between the teams. In global and continental competitions, the team has competed in qualification groups for both the FIFA World Cup since 2018, and the UEFA European Championship since 2016; but have failed to qualify for any tournament finals. They have competed in the UEFA Nations League since the inaugural season in 2018–19.
Midfielder Liam Walker is the nation's most capped player, accumulating 65 appearances since his international debut in November 2013 against Slovakia. Liam Walker is also the nation's leading goalscorer of all time with four goals. Kyle Goldwin is the most capped goalkeeper in Gibraltar's history having appeared 21 times for the national side. Defender Joseph Chipolina has received the most yellow cards (cautions), with eleven. Defender Jayce Olivero has received the most red cards (dismissals), with two sending off.
