The 2021–22 Gibraltar Women's Football League is the sixth season of 11-a-side women's football in Gibraltar since the territory joined UEFA in 2013, and FIFA in 2016. The league had been in operation for a number of years previously, but teams were ineligible for entry to the UEFA Women's Champions League as it was only a 9-a-side tournament. Lions Gibraltar were the reigning champions from the previous season, which had been shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This season is set to be the first since the 2016–17 season where more than 3 teams participate, with two new teams entering the competition.[1] Lions Gibraltar retained their title in March 2022, having won every single game and conceding no goals throughout, with 115 goals in 12 games.[2]

Teams

[edit]

Gibraltar Wave joined the league for the first time, having first competed in the 2021 Women's Futsal League following their foundation at the start of the year.[3] Manchester 62 returned to the league following a 5-year absence.

Note: Flags indicate national team as has been defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
