Thanks to all the guys who replied to my previous thread which unfortunately ran into an error. However after seeing everyone responding wanting to see me build up a nation. I'm more than happy with this ambitious and ludicrous idea and probably taken on one of, if not, the hardest one going. I'd appreciate your support and kind comments oce again throughout.
"Football in Gibraltar is a popular sport. Football has a strong tradition in Gibraltar, having first been introduced by British military personnel in the 19th century. In 1895 the Gibraltar Football Association was founded, making it one of the ten oldest active football associations in the world."
"In the 13 May 2016, Gibraltar was granted FIFA membership so they can enter for the World Cup. They were placed in Group H along with Belgium, Bosnia, Greece, Estonia, Cyprus. The first game Gibraltar will play is on the 6 September 2016 at home to Greece."
"The Gibraltar national team play their matches, as do most of the clubs in the territory, at the 5,000 capacity FIFA approved and licensed Victoria Stadium."
Within Gibraltar there are two football leagues, the Premier League and the Second Division with nineteen teams split between the two sides. This leaves a ten team Premier Division and a nine team Second Division with one or two clubs able to win promotion/slip to relegation each season.
Here are the two leagues that are playable in Gibraltar. The Premier Division has been dominated by Lincoln (GIB) over the last fourteen years, winning all fourteen league titles. The Premier Division is currently ranked as the two hundred and twenty first 'best league' in the World to date. The long aim of the save is to gain some recognition for the league. The Second Division has no relegation zone but full of Semi Professional and amateur football clubs. The Second Division is ranked twenty six places lower than the Premier Division in two hundred and forty seventh.
Along with the two league divisions, there are three cup competitions within the playable divisions in Gibraltar. The Rock Cup sees all nineteen clubs go head to head with each other in a straight knockout competition, this is ranked one hundred and twelfth in the competition rankings. The Pepe Reyes Cup is the equivalent to the Community Shield etc and is played out over a one legged final between the Premier Division winners and the Rock Cup winners, ranked one hundred and ninety ninth in the world rankings. Whilst finally the Division Two League Cup is as it says, a competition for only Division 2 teams and played out between nine teams. Ranked the lowest in the world at two hundred and first.
Now my aim is to turn a current Second Division side into not only Gibraltar Premier Division champions, but also eventually forcing a way into Europe, making a team to compete with the best. IF I do manage this, I'll eventually resign and rinse and repeat, doing it all over again. Whilst trying to improve the leagues reputation over the years. With the National team also in my future prospects. I'm in this for the long run.
