The 2023–24 Gibraltar Women's Football League is the eighth season of 11-a-side women's football in Gibraltar since the territory joined UEFA in 2013, and FIFA in 2016. The league had been in operation for a number of years previously, but often as a 9-a side tournament. Teams are ineligible for entry to the UEFA Women's Champions League as the league is considered a "development" tournament. Lions Gibraltar are the reigning champions from the previous season.
Teams
Once again, 5 teams will contest the division, with the addition of Hercules to the league as a joint venture between Hercules Futsal Club and College 1975.[1] Gibraltar Wave will operate this season as an affiliate of Mons Calpe, an agreement that began during the 2023 Women's Futsal League season.[2] Manchester 62 were originally set to join but were denied entry to the league.
Note: Flags indicate national team as has been defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
