Gibraltar is an enclave at the Southern tip of Spain that has been under British rule since the 18th Century. 

"Football has no place for behaviour of this nature," the statement further added. 

Gibraltar Status

At present, Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory with just over 34,000 population. It was given to Britain by Spain in a type of a contract that was accepted at the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 and was also seen as an important naval base. 

The people present have also backed British rule twice. However, Spain have maintained an assert on the territory. 

There have also been disagreements on how to police the border since the time Gibraltar left the Union with Brexit.
