Wales v Gibraltar
Gibraltar became a member of UEFA at the London Congress in May 2013 following a protracted battle which saw the Gibraltar Football Association (GFA) take UEFA to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Following its acceptance by UEFA, the GFA was accepted as a FIFA member in May 2016 becoming FIFA's 211th member immediately after the Football Federation of Kosovo became the 210th member at the 66th Congress in Mexico City.
Gibraltar is the second smallest UEFA member in terms of population, only San Marino has a smaller population, and is the smallest member in terms of area.
The Gibraltar Football Association (GFA) was formed in 1895. Pior to membership of FIFA and UEFA, the Gibraltar national team played at the biannual Island Games between 1993 and 2007 winning the gold medal in 2007 beating hosts, Rhodes, in the final.
Gibraltar's first international match was a 0-0 draw in a friendly against Slovakia in November 2013.
Wales' first meeting with Gibraltar was a 4-0 win in a friendly international in October 2023.
