The story of Gibraltar's most successful and celebrated football club.
Founded in 1976 by Charlie Polson and the late Charles Head, few could have imagined that this Fourth Division side would grow into the most successful football club in Gibraltar's history. A golden era in the 1980s and a record 14 consecutive league titles between 2003 and 2016 built the foundation for 30 Gibraltar National League titles — the latest won in 2025/26. In 2014 they were the first club from Gibraltar to compete in the UEFA Champions League qualifying stage.
Lincoln Red Imps have built their legacy on the Rock of Gibraltar itself — a natural fortress that has stood firm through centuries of history and tested many of Europe's finest football sides.
In 2016 the club shocked world football by beating Celtic FC 1–0 in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round — the so-called "Shock of Gibraltar." In 2021/22 they became the first Gibraltar club in a European group stage (Conference League), and in 2025/26 they made history again — becoming the first Gibraltarian side to win a UEFA group stage match, defeating Lech Poznań 2–1.

Lincoln Red Imps grew from a Fourth Division side founded in 1976 into the most successful football club in Gibraltar's history — a story of ambition, stability, and a long-term commitment to homegrown talent.

The club also won 18 Senior Cups before that competition was abolished.
Founded by Charlie Polson and the late Charles Head, Lincoln emerged from a group of players connected to the Blue Batons — the Gibraltar Police's youth team — and entered senior football in Gibraltar's Fourth Division.
Lincoln reached Gibraltar's top division and won the league championship in its first season at that level.
Seven league championships were secured during this period, backed by growing investment in the club's Youth Programme.
Lincoln won 14 consecutive Gibraltar league titles, breaking the previous domestic record of nine in a row — built on vision, stability and homegrown talent.
Lincoln secured the club's 30th Gibraltar National League title.
The Lincoln Red Imps Youth Academy remains central to the club's philosophy and the development of future players.

The Lincoln Red Imps Academy is the heartbeat of the club's future. We are committed to providing Gibraltar's young players with a professional footballing environment — the same culture of excellence, hard work, and ambition that has driven the first team to 30 league titles and European competition.
Our academy players train in the same environment as first-team professionals, absorbing the standards and values of Gibraltar's most decorated football club. Many of our current first-team squad — including Jaylan Hankins — came through youth football in Gibraltar and represent the pathway every academy player aspires to.
Academy Players
League Titles to Inspire
Our academy squads are set for the prestigious Gañafote Cup — a major youth tournament that tests our academy players against top sides from across Spain and Gibraltar.
Our academy players travelled to Italy in April 2026 for the Lake Garda Cup — an international youth tournament that gave our players the experience of competing abroad at a high level.
Our academy squad travelled to Cádiz in February 2026 for a series of friendly matches — developing players through competition against Spanish youth sides just across the border.
In March 2026, 15 Imps academy players were called up for Gibraltar international duty — a testament to the quality being produced at the club.
Lincoln Red Imps' academy side represents the club on the continental stage in the 2026/27 UEFA Youth League — a separate campaign and squad from the first team's UEFA Conference League.

The Lincoln Red Imps Academy exists to feed the first team. Players who develop the right qualities — technically, physically, and mentally — have a genuine pathway into professional football in Gibraltar and beyond. Lee Casciaro is the ultimate example: a product of the Lincoln youth ranks who went on to become Gibraltar's greatest ever footballer, a one-club legend, and the man who scored the goal that shocked Celtic and the world in 2016. He shows exactly what is possible when talent meets the right environment.
Contact the club directly via email or phone to register your interest in joining the academy.
Players are invited to trials at Europa Point Stadium. Trials are open and assess technical ability, attitude, and potential.
Successful players are enrolled into the academy squad, receive professional coaching, and compete in Gibraltar FA competitions and international tournaments.
Train at Gibraltar's most successful club, represent your country internationally, and aim for a place in the first team — the same shirt that competed in the UEFA Champions League.
