Since September 2018, Gibraltar has played official international matches as host at the 5,000-seat Victoria Stadium, under a "specific exemption granted by UEFA", allowing the local team to play at this stadium, although certain prerequisites were not met, "especially in relation to lighting, stadium capacity and other more technical infrastructure points".

This exemption was granted on the condition that the works on the new stadium started in 2020/2021. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, work at the venue was postponed and, consequently, UEFA extended his exemption until the end of the group stage of the third edition of the 2022 Nations League.

The Football Federation of Gibraltar has clarified that it will host two friendly matches in November, against as yet undetermined opponents, which will be the last to be played at the Victoria Stadium before being completely rebuilt.

The organisation also confirmed that the construction plans for the new national stadium are at an advanced stage, with the works scheduled for the second half of 2023.

Gibraltar is in Group B of the qualifying round, along with Greece, the Netherlands, France and the Republic of Ireland.
