We are expecting the Gibraltar 2019 Games to be one of the most important events in Gibraltar’s sporting history, there will be some inevitable traffic disruptions for the five road-based events but I urge the public to come down and support the Games. The schedules for all 14 sports are available on the Gibraltar 2019 website www.gibraltar2019.com."
