The Gibraltar national under-16 football team is the second-youngest active youth football team of Gibraltar, run by the Gibraltar Football Association. Prior to their accession to UEFA, an under-15 team participated in the Rock Cup, but this was scrapped in 2013. The team primarily participates in annual UEFA Development Tournaments, notably scoring an infamous goal through Andrew Hernandez against Macedonia in 2015.[1]
