Gibraltarian football clubs in European competitions

All football teams in Gibraltar share the Victoria Stadium[1]

Gibraltar became a full member of UEFA, the governing body of association football in Europe, on 24 May 2013.[2] Teams from the territory can qualify for UEFA's two main continental competitions, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League, and have entered since the 2014–15 season.

Lincoln Red Imps have represented Gibraltar in four seasons of the Champions League, twice reaching the second qualifying round. In 2016, they won 1–0 at that stage against former European champions Celtic, but lost 3–1 on aggregate. The team Europa has represented the territory in the Europa League three times, their best performance being losing the second qualifying round to AIK of Sweden in 2016.
