Format edit
The Gibraltar Intermediate League was established by the Gibraltar Football Association in June 2018 as a merger of the pre-existing Reserves Division and Under 18 Division, in order to aid player development on the territory. Competing clubs are required to register a reserve squad of 18 players, of which 13 must be Gibraltarian.[2]
Teams edit
Mons Calpe declined to enter a team this season, taking the number of teams down to 11. Due to the lack of resources necessary to compete in the Gibraltar Football League, Hound Dogs were granted special permission by the Gibraltar FA to participate as a senior side in the Intermediate League.
Note: Flags indicate national team as has been defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
