Gibraltar planning new stadium to match FIFA requirements

Gibraltar has unveiled plans for a new national football stadium, aiming to officially open the venue in 2016.

The British territory's football team currently uses the Victoria Stadium - which does not meet FIFA’s regulations to host international football matches, although some friendlies will be played there.

Gibraltar, which is also aiming for FIFA membership in time to play in the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup, is looking to build an 8,000-capacity stadium at Europa Point on the south of the island. The stadium will also be used for concerts.

The 23,000sq m (247,500sq ft) ground will feature a 105m x 68m football pitch and will have full medical and media facilities, as well as spaces for catering or retail outlets and the GFA offices.

The Gibraltar Football Association (GFA) is hoping to have the project underway by the end of the year and Spain-based RFA Fenwick Iribarren Architects is behind the design.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Gibraltar coach Allen Bula said: "The Europa Point is progressing smoothly and we are just waiting for the government to give us the approval.”

Gibraltar made its international debut against Slovakia late last year in a 0-0 draw, and recently played its first ever match on home soil – losing 4-1 to the Faroe Islands.
