The Gibraltar national under-21 football team represents Gibraltar in football competitions at under-21 level and is controlled by the Gibraltar Football Association. It is a full member of FIFA and is therefore eligible to enter any FIFA-sanctioned tournaments. Gibraltar applied for full UEFA membership and was accepted by the UEFA Congress in May 2013 and can therefore compete in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship beginning with the 2015 edition of the tournament, although they did not participate until 2017, in qualification for the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
Since being accepted into UEFA in May 2013, they have not formed under-21 team, until announcement in December 2016. The Gibraltar Football Association announced that Gibraltar will be participating in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship for the first time as from 2017 with qualifying games for the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, that will take place in Italy. The draw for the qualifiers was in Switzerland on 26 January 2017 and Gibraltar will play in Group 7. [1]
