A statement from the GFA follows below:

The Gibraltar FA is delighted to announce a special sporting farewell to the Victoria Stadium which will take place on Saturday 21st June, ahead of the stadium’s full demolition which is set to resume in the Autumn.

The ‘Final Whistle’ will celebrate Gibraltar’s sporting history at Victoria Stadium, which for decades stood at the heart of our sporting community, not only as the home of football, but as a venue that has welcomed a wide range of sports and the athletes who brought them to life.

To honour that legacy, several of Gibraltar’s sporting associations that have called the Victoria Stadium home for so many years will be joining the Gibraltar FA in celebrating the incredible moments and memories that have been created and passed down through generations of Gibraltarians before ‘The Final Whistle’ is blown on all sporting activity in the Victoria Stadium in its current state.

A full programme of activities, including an Open Day on the 18th June will be announced very shortly for what promises to be a day to remember for Gibraltarian Sport.

Once the final whistle is blown, the Gibraltar FA will make the area available to the Government of Gibraltar to use for select community events until demolition can resume in the Autumn.
