May 14 - College Europa to Play UEFA Europa League
Following great speculation after the Rock Cup final last week the GFA has officially announced that College Europa FC will represent Gibraltar in UEFA’s Europa League, this season. Initial reports stated that Manchester 62 FC, the league runner’s up would play in the League, however, UEFA’s Europa League rules go against the policy adopted by the GFA, that the League spot would go to the local league’s runner up. UEFA’s rules however state that the domestic cup runner-up qualifies for the UEFA Europa League.
