The Gibraltar Football League Association was created to provide some balance to ‘dictatorship-style’ policies imposed by the national association that are counter-productive to local football development.

However, made up of the Rock’s Premier League clubs chairmen that include multi-million-pound clubs together with amateur ones, there were major disagreements on how funds should be distributed. In a deal struck earlier this year, after almost a decade under the UEFA banner, the Gibraltar Football Association has finally restructured UEFA prize money to provide funds for all clubs. This includes those failing to qualify for European competition, which will come as a godsend to lower-level clubs striving to compete against the giants of local football.
