To mark more than a decade of UEFA membership, GBC brings you How to Build a Football Nation - a four-part podcast series that delves deep into local football.
Host and producer Molly McElwee speaks to the people at the heart of the story, recapping historic goals, club success in Europe, opportunities in women's football, a completely unrecognisable local league, and how the Gibraltar FA managed it all.
The series highlights everything that has gone right and wrong over the past 11 years, before looking towards what the future could hold.

Uefa membership came with highs on the pitch, but also lows off it - including a 10-year stadium revamp saga and a gambling scandal which brought major negative publicity. We explore all of those topics with the GFA's Ivan Robba and others across this episode, plus ask our guests what their hopes for Gibraltar’s footballing future are.

Local football gets a shake up
Local football clubs went from training “el patio” to running up six-figure costs in the space of a few seasons. We speak to people involved before and after Uefa membership about the drastic adaptations clubs have had to make, the lure of prize money pushing some to the brink and some outstanding moments on the pitch.
