History
The side formed in 2013 as College Europa Women after the Gibraltar Football Association joined UEFA, amidst a boom in interest in the sport at the time. In what was, at the time, a 4 team league, Europa struggled behind the established forces of Manchester 62, Lincoln Red Imps and Lions Gibraltar, even as Manchester 62 disbanded their team and the league was reduced to 3 teams. However, the club have slowly become more competitive over the years.[1] In 2015 the team changed its name to Europa FC Women in line with the men's team breaking away from the College sports club.[2]
