Gibraltar waiting for FIFA membership approval: It's ludicrous!

Gibraltar are still waiting for FIFA membership.

Gibraltar meet Scotland this weekend in their Euro 2016 qualifier, but remain outside of FIFA.

"We are a Pariah state," says Dennis Beiso, chief executive of the 120-year-old Gibraltar Football Association (GFA), to the Daily Mail.

"There are other British territories in FIFA which have even less autonomy than Gibraltar.

"And yet our lack of autonomy is exactly the political excuse being used to exclude us. The position is ludicrous."
