About Prince of Wales FC

Prince of Wales FC was one of the earliest civilian football clubs in Gibraltar, founded in 1892 during a period when football on the territory was dominated by British military teams. It played a key role in the development of organised football among the local civilian population and was among the founding forces behind early competitive structures on the Rock.

The club became one of the strongest sides in early Gibraltarian football. After the establishment of formal competitions, including the Gibraltar Football League in 1907, Prince of Wales quickly established itself as a dominant team. It won multiple league titles and was especially successful in the first half of the 20th century, collecting a total of 19 national championships and several cup victories.

Although the club remained highly successful for decades, its dominance gradually declined after the Second World War. Prince of Wales FC won its final major honours in the early 1950s and eventually dissolved in the mid-1950s. Despite its disappearance, it is still remembered as one of the most historically significant and successful clubs in Gibraltar’s football history.
