About Manchester 62 FC

Manchester 62 FC is a football club based in Gibraltar, founded in 1962. It originally started as Manchester United FC, created by local supporters who were inspired by the English club and were granted permission to use its name. The team has traditionally competed in Gibraltar’s domestic league and plays its home matches at the Victoria Stadium.

Throughout its history, the club went through several name changes due to sponsorship and administrative updates, eventually becoming Manchester 62 FC in 2013. During its early decades, it experienced periods of success in Gibraltar football, winning multiple league titles and domestic cups, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s when it was one of the stronger sides in the country.

In modern times, Manchester 62 has generally been a mid-to-lower table club in the Gibraltar Football League. While no longer a dominant force, it remains a long-standing and recognizable part of Gibraltar’s football system, continuing to compete at the national level and contribute to local player development.
