In February 2014 the Gibraltar Football Association had unveiled plans for a UEFA Category 4 multi-function stadium to be built on the site;[4][5] however the following year this proposal was abandoned.[1] Subsequently, the GFA purchased Victoria Stadium.

On 27 March 2021, Europa Sports Park was the venue for the WBC interim heavyweight championship rematch between Alexander Povetkin and Dillian Whyte.[6]


Florence Nightingale Field Hospital


A COVID-19 field hospital was set up at the site, in line with those set up in the UK mainland.[7]
