Gibraltar will face the Faroe Islands at the Europa Sports Park on Monday in another round of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side have endured an abysmal first half of their qualification campaign and will need something extraordinary to secure a top-two finish in Group L, where they sit rock-bottom with no points after four matches.
They kicked off this international break with a friendly clash against Albania on Thursday, losing 1-0 after giving away a penalty kick midway through the second half. They will be looking to mark their return to competitive action next week with a win.
The Faroe Islands have also failed to perform in an admittedly difficult group and are running out of time to secure advancement. They suffered a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Croatia in their game on Friday, with goalkeeper Mattias Lamhauge making multiple saves in both halves to keep the scoreline civil.
The visitors, who sit fourth in the group, are three points above their midweek opponents and will be looking to at least retain that advantage when they head to Europa Point on Monday.
