Short answer
The Gibraltar Football Stadium is called the Victoria Stadium.
Detailed answer
The Gibraltar Football Stadium is known as the Victoria Stadium. This stadium, located at the foot of the Rock of Gibraltar, serves as the primary venue for football matches and other sporting events in Gibraltar. It has been a central hub for local and international matches, strengthening Gibraltar's presence in the world of football. The stadium is also used for athletics and other community events, making it a key sports facility in the region. Its strategic location near Gibraltar's airport and main thoroughfares adds to its accessibility and significance. The Victoria Stadium is currently undergoing a comprehensive transformation. This involves the full demolition and reconstruction of the site to achieve UEFA Category 4 classification, enabling the hosting of elite international matches. Purchased by the Gibraltar Football Association (GFA) in 2017 with £16.5 million in UEFA and FIFA grants, the £100 million project—unveiled in updated designs in 2022—will erect a state-of-the-art national stadium on the existing footprint near Gibraltar Airport, featuring an 8,000-seat capacity, angular stands, a futsal arena, and facilities for concerts and other events. Despite delays from tenancy disputes resolved by a Supreme Court ruling in August 2025, construction is accelerating, with completion targeted for 2026–2027. In the interim, Gibraltar's national team plays "home" fixtures in Faro, Portugal. Once finished, the venue will deliver vastly enhanced facilities for players and spectators, including improved pitch quality, lighting, and accessibility, while solidifying Gibraltar's post-2013 UEFA integration by elevating its football infrastructure and supporting high-level qualifiers and club competitions.
