The Gibraltar national under-17 football team is the youth football team of Gibraltar, run by the Gibraltar Football Association. The team is based mostly on the young players from the region's domestic leagues, the Gibraltar Premier Division and Gibraltar Second Division, and competes every year to qualify for the European Under-17 Football Championship. History. The team played its first match on 24 October 2013 against the Republic of Ireland national under-17 football team, the year when Gibraltar became a member of UEFA. George Wink, then of the Juvenil team of the Spanish club Club  Atlético Zabal, scored the first goal, in the history of the national under-17 team on October 28, 2013 against the Armenia national under-17 football team.
