Wijnand fens Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Since when is Gibraltar a member of UEFA ? So they can play EC and WC qualification matches? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

diongolt Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 We are members of UEFA since May 2013 and as such our teams can enter European Competition, including the Champions League, Europa League and the European Nations Cup for our national team. However, we have not yet become members of FIFA and will not be able to take part in FIFA sanctioned competition, e.g. World Cup Qualification, until we apply and are accepted as full members of FIFA.

Boy_Wonda Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Their league must be a downpour away from a catastrophic fixture pile-up as most teams seem to play at the same ground... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I've got up to 2033 in my save, and so far Gibraltar have played the following Friendly Played:86 Won: 3 Drawn: 3 Lost: 80 GF: 12 GA: 292 GD: -280 Competitive Played: 50 Won: 0 Drawn: 0 Lost: 50 GF: 5 GA: 190 GD: -185 So an overall record of Played:136 Won: 3 Drawn: 3 Lost: 80 GF: 17 GA: 482 GD: -465 Monumental wins against Bonaire twice (I've no idea either) and Armenia must've been celebrated like a World Cup win...

Chesters86 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Anyone know when they enter the FIFA Rankings? I'm just into my second season and they've played a couple of Qualifiers and it says their Ranking is N/A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
diongolt Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It's true, there is only one stadium in Gibraltar, The Victoria Stadium. I have played there many times. Another one is currently being built for the Euro Qualifiers as the Victoria Stadium doesn't meet the requirements for International Football. I don't think Gib will feature in the FIFA rankings as we are not FIFA members yet, only UEFA. IRL we played the Faroe Islands a few years ago and beat them 3-0 at home. We have also racked up wins against Portsmouth F.C (4-0), Notts County (3-1) and Bury (2-1). I'm looking forward to the European Championship Qualifying draw in February. Hopefully we can cause a shock and not finish bottom. I would personally be in favour of a Pre-Qualifiers round against other minnows to play more competitive games and earn the right to face the giants of European football.

Younger Crayola Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Monumental wins against Bonaire twice (I've no idea either) Formerly a part of the Netherlands Antilles before it split into its constitutent countries of Aruba (who already had a separate team), Curaçao (who inherit the Antilles football history) and Bonaire. They're associate members of CONCACAF, so will compete in the Caribbean Cup. Tsk, don't you follow Dutch territory representative football? I thought everyone did!

forameuss Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Have they played San Marino? I don't think they did actually, although they could have done. I don't want to go back over their results, as it got me awfully depressed. I think they went a good few years without scoring a single goal. #prayforgibraltar (I hate myself for hashtagging) Formerly a part of the Netherlands Antilles before it split into its constitutent countries of Aruba (who already had a separate team), Curaçao (who inherit the Antilles football history) and Bonaire.

bosovski Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Anyone know when they enter the FIFA Rankings?

Magicz Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Pleased to see they're in the game. Might have to have a go. I remember taking over at San Marino on FM12 and getting beat 3-0 by Spain - got told it was an excellent result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Annoyingly, I didn't add players when I started my save to make Gibraltar playable. Would have liked to have had a spell in the save in charge of them. I don't suppose there's any way of making them playable after the game has started?
