Description

The national team played their first home match at Europa Point Stadium on September 2, 2017 against Estonia. Europa Point Stadium was a planned new stadium for the country of Gibraltar that came about due to Gibraltar joining UEFA in 2013. At the time, Victoria Stadium did not meet UEFA standards, which made it difficult for the country to host Euro qualifying matches on their home territory. The national team played their first home match at Europa Point Stadium on September 2, 2017 against Estonia. The project was initiated by the Gibraltar Football Association. The association is projected to own the stadium and it is expected to cost up to £40 million.

Europa Point Stadium would have had a maximum capacity of just over 8,000 seats. The stadium would have been located within a larger complex featuring bars and restaurants, retail shops, a museum, and viewing points towards Africa.

The stadium, designed by architect Mark Fenwick, had previously been responsible for the design of Espanyol's Estadi Cornella-El Prat and Valencia's Nou Mestalla.

The stadium would have a capacity of 30,000 spectators and would be used for football matches and other sporting events. Europa Point Stadium would be built at the southern tip of the rock of Gibraltar called Europa Point, at a site that is presently occupied by a cricket ground. The stadium would have a capacity of 30,000 spectators and would be used for football matches and other sporting events.

The Europa Point Stadium project was cancelled when the Gibraltar FA decided to buy and renovate Victoria Stadium instead.
