Gibraltar were dealt a baptism of fire as they were drawn
with Germany, Ireland, Poland, Scotland and Georgia in their debut European
Championship qualification campaign.

UEFA’s newest members were initially placed with Spain in
group C but were moved to group D with European giants Germany, who have won
the championships 3 times in their history.
The Gibraltarians will open up their campaign in September
at their temporary home of Portugal against one of the co-hosts of Euro 2012,
Poland. They then travel to Dublin in October before their most realistic
chance of gaining some points at home to Georgia.
Manager Allen Bula told the BBC that his aim was “to reach
the play offs” with captain Roy Chipolina expressing his delight at playing
against players such as Lukas Podolski and Robert Lewandowski.
Gibraltar take on the Faroe Islands on Saturday at the
Victoria Stadium before hosting Estonia. Our preview of the 2 games will be up
next week.
