League Fixtures| League Player Stats | Competitions Gibraltar Football League We won it after after a second with at Lincoln. Almost a perfect season. We won it for the 9th time in our history. Rock Cup We won it after the big Antonio Sánchez show. Pepe Reyes Cup We lost this after penalties against Lincoln. Europe Survived one round and received +-900k prize money. U23 Intermediate League Narrowly but our U23 just miss out on the tittle Squad First XI| Overall best XI | Academy Accolades | Transfers | Loaned Players | Youth Intake - Class 2023 Kelvin Morgan had a great first season for us and he was very important up front together with Antonio Sánchez Awards Cipri and Willy assisted 21 times together from the wings and scored 26 goals. Club Finances & Upgrades Profile Club| Finances| Facilities| Affiliated Clubs Next Season I am very happy with the domestic double. Making money again next season through the European qualifiers and getting close to a European group stage is the main goal. Of course, we will also continue to grow and steal a player from another team here and there.

Yes after a few seasons we should be stronger as lincoln but I still think they can take over again afterwards if the level of players from gibraltar does not rise. Once the real players from my current squad start quitting, our level will also drop. I am only allowed to buy players with Gibraltarian passports and they are allowed to buy spanish and english etc. i hope they do that so the level of the league goes up. I will also help them out by buying players from them for a solid price (as soon as I have enough cash myself).

March 2022 With a draw again St Joseph's and a perfect run from Lincoln, anything can happen. Next game is Lincoln away. International Vinet receives his first senior call-up.

Youth intake preview Happy with our first intake. Average 34.06 (very low) but two guys have +40 average attributes rating so that is something good. Below you can find my calculation tool(spoiler). Best of class 2023 Malbon 23 is the best prospect, i like his personality en flair/technique/first touch. Newton 23 could be a fullback option in the future and Rowe 23 is a tall central defender with a good personality. Of course, after every intake, I have to check what has appeared in gibralter at the other teams. Hopefully I can poach a good player here and there.

February 2022 First points dropped at Magpies. Afterwards we could not win against Lincoln but we played the entire second half with ten.

January 2022 We start with a win in the champions playoffs. Transfers Jay Key has a lot of potential.

December 2022 Only one game this month and the players are on a winter break for one month. Man 62 qualified for the champions playoffs with only 11 points. The only competition we seem to have is Lincoln , as expected. I'm going to try and sign some of the above players. Most of them are not interested in talking with us. Britto will join us on free from big rivals Lincoln. He is a first team player. He was also a very important player in my St Joseph's save on FM21.

Youth intake preview - Class 2023 Long time since I have seen such a negative forecast but I shouldn't have expected anything else. My current squad is quite strong for Gibraltar and the youth intakes in gibraltar will be weak to average for the next 10,20 years and so much below the standard of my senior players.

November 2022 27 out of 27 is more than i expected. i hope we can continue like this and it will be important to win one more time from Lincoln in the champions playoffs. Transfers Signed a regen DC from Gibraltar, no information about his homegrown club. Brandon Stead is getting a chance to improve and is my first youth signing (U19). I'll tag those players with 'YT' label and give them a real face. He received a first call-up for U18 Gibraltar.

Players developed and active in Gibraltar Football League - 2022 3 produced talents in the GFL is a good start.

yes at FM21 (and i think FM20 or 22) the winner of the 'playoff' group with the number 7 - 11 involved gets the same prize money as the champions. and also a lot of brexit issues and no team was registering anybody. With the database from @DaveTheEditor everything seems to go very good.

Gibraltar National team production - 2022 No contribution from Europa fc yet.

October 2022 Perfect start with a really impressive win over Lincoln.

September 2022 We lost our first important domestic game against rivals Lincoln after penalties. We missed our fifth and only penalty. First Eleven Already 7 player from Gibraltar in our first eleven. Average age of 26.5 and the average attributes from our first eleven is 46.41. One of my sheets to get a clear image of the CA of the player(s). Tactic I'm using the same tactic as on FM22 and FM23. A 2 striker high pressing tactic. International 5 players called-up for the senior squad of Gibraltar. Facilities We received our first upgrades very fast, thank you board.

August 2022 Transfers Signed one more player. Had four players on trial but familiar face (previous save in gibraltar) Shaun De Los Santos may remain as backup midfielder. Staff changes Signed Pablo Rotchen as assistent manager. International No new names. i will post the profile page of every academy player that receives his first call-up.

July 2022 Started very good in our Europa Conference League first QF with a win against Bosnia & Herzegovina's Borac . They were much stronger and we had some luck! We gained good money with this first win. In the second round ECL we lost against MFK Ružomberok from Slovakia. They were strong but we managed to get a 0-3 lead in the second leg. They managed to score three times and we are out. Transfers This are our first transfers in. Kelvin Morgan is joining us for only 6.25k. he will be one of or two main strikers this season. Erin Barnett is another payable gibraltarian with already some international experience. Young prospects like Nicholas Pozo or Carlos Richards or Jaiden Bartolo are not interested in a transfer at the moment.

Thanks everybody . @Cheez3y i loved that save but stopped too early. Same concept but with an opening to start buying british players in the future (not sure if i will do that); Started again because of my visit to Gibraltar and because of the topic from @Sheriff7 with Lincoln and the great blog from @TheLutterworthFox .

Hoyd change 22/23 I won't post about every staff change but this one is really important. I sacked my current HOYD (he won't talk about a different role at the club) because i found below HOYD. Good personalty, high JPA and JPP. A great option for my first season.

Gibraltar Football League - Homegrown rules I have 8 players that trained in Gibraltar already so this shouldn't be an issue. Most of the above could be first team players.

I have obviously certain objectives. As club coach and national coach. To grow the club, the country and individually players from Gibraltar(or academy). Certain objectives are split into three phases. I do not define the date of each phase but as soon as I reach the first objective I will mark it on the list and we will work towards the next one. I won't try to manager Gibraltar in the first 5/6 seasons, afterwards this is for sure an objective so i can have some more influence.

Football clubs - Tracker - 4/7/22 It is clear which club is dominant in Gibraltar. I will update this every five seasons to see how the teams evolve in gibraltar.

Europa FC - Gibraltar - Intro Database| Manager| Profile Club | Club Vision | Facilities | Finances Europa FC is a professional football club from Gibraltar, that competes in the Gibraltar National League. As with all other clubs in the territory, Europa FC currently shares the Victoria Stadium on Winston Churchill Avenue. Europa FC is also called " the green machine ". The club also operates a women's team which competes in the Gibraltar Women's Football League. The club was founded in 1925 and won the league eight times. This makes it the fourth most successful team in gibraltar. Lincoln became champions 24 times, Prince of Wales FC (bankrupt) won 19 times, Glacis Utd 17 times. Europa FC has been Lincoln's biggest challenger for years and it aims to become Gibraltar's biggest club. Whereas Lincoln Red Imps is mainly made up of Gibraltarians, Europa is a club where almost only foreigners play. They have to, as Lincoln has all of Gibraltar's top players under contract. So this will have to change in the near future. Facilities Victoria Stadium (2226 seats) is a multi-purpose stadium in Gibraltar. It is currently used mostly for football matches, but also hosts the annual Gibraltar Music Festival. It is located close to Gibraltar Airport just off Winston Churchill Avenue. It was named after the wife of Gibraltarian philanthropist John Mackintosh. Despite initial plans to replace the stadium in the 2010s, the Gibraltar Football Association purchased the stadium from the Government of Gibraltar in April 2017 in order to improve and renovate it. The plans to build a new stadium are still ongoing. All clubs in the Gibraltar Football League play their matches at Victoria Stadium. As such it is also used to host the final of the Rock Cup. Prior to membership of FIFA, it has been used as the Gibraltar national football team's home ground for unofficial internationals. Following the Gibraltar Football Association's admittance as a full member of UEFA in May 2013, UEFA vetoed Gibraltar using Victoria Stadium as their home ground as it did not meet UEFA standards and as the Government of Gibraltar owned it. which meant that the Gibraltar national football team was obliged to play their "home" matches in UEFA and FIFA qualifying tournaments at Estádio Algarve in Faro, Portugal however they were permitted to play friendly matches there. Squad Not a single Gibraltarian in the senior squad comes from our own academy. A lot of work to do to improve that. I plan to keep the best non-GIBs as long as possible and use them to allow us to grow. In the long run, of course, there will be no more players in the senior squad without Gibraltarees passports. First season for Sánchez in Gibraltar. He graduated from Sevilla's youth academy but always played at the lower level. A goal-scoring machine for several seasons at that level. Fourth season for Willy at Europa FC. He should provide the creativity . Hernandez is our best Gibraltar player in the squad. He comes from rival Lincoln and will have a very important role in the growth of our squad. Jayce Olivero is the captain right now at Europa FC and is a certainty at the back. I am reunited with the top talent from my St Joseph's save, Dylan Borge. He banged them in with his eyes closed and hopefully he can repeat this for Europa FC.

This should become my second major save in Gibraltar. After my save at FM21 with St Joseph's F.C. (Played seven seasons and it ended with the construction of my own stadium).Now it is time to start a new adventure in little Britain in the sun. I plan to carry on this save to FM24. I went to visit gibraltar with my son a few weeks ago and, among other things, saw Gibraltar's national stadium (Victoria stadium) along with quite a few sightseeings on the rock (I will occasionally use my own photos in this topic). This only strengthened my love for gibraltar and my intention to achieve something here. I plan to watch a few more games there in the near future in the European qualifiers and competition. Gibraltar is a fast short league where you can quickly focus on European qualifications. In the long term, my intention is to become national coach of Gibraltar to achieve certain goals there as well. And I will of course do everything I can to grow other clubs (by buying players from them, with or without sell-through add-ons). Rules This is a build a small nation save with one important rule. Only players of Gibraltar nationality (second nationality is also allowed) may be bought/hired in combination with our own academy graduates. I hope that in time good British players will get gibraltarian passports (transfers from other gibraltar clubs) so I can strengthen the league and national team. There is a possibility that at some point, I will do other transfers after all, and buy british players myself with the intention of having them play for gibralter over time. But if and when is not clear. History Gibraltarian Football The Victoria Stadium is located next to the airport. Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory located on the South of the Iberian Peninsula, is rarely spoken about in the footballing world. With a population of 34,000 contained within 6.7km2, you might not have expected the Rock to have a formal competitive football league. But with the qualifying stages of the Champions League and Europa League becoming home to many Gibraltarian clubs, and also with plenty of exciting young players representing Gibraltar, it might time we paid more attention to football in Gibraltar. The Gibraltar Football Association (GFA) was started in 1895 as football began to popularise across the globe during the 19th Century. In 1907, the GFA started the Gibraltar Football League, with the only competition existing before that being the Merchant’s Cup. The league began with eight teams, later expanding to two divisions. There are currently three domestic senior men’s tournaments in Gibraltar. Since being reformed at the start of the 2019/20 season, there has only been one senior tier in Gibraltar, known as The Gibraltar National League. Although the reforming of the league came at the unfortunate expense of dissolving a number of clubs, it now makes sense that all football Gibraltar is united in one league. 11 teams competed in the 2021/22 season, with each team facing each other once before the league splitting in half.

I'm still playing with Sesvete in Croatia in my 8/9th season. playing real slow but i'm going to continue this till the next FM is out, so i should be able to play a few seasons and try to become stronger in Europe. I saw a lot of nice posts here with some new HoF entries.
