Boca Gibraltar was a football team from Gibraltar. They played in the Gibraltar National League until 2020, having previously played in the Gibraltar Premier Division and the Gibraltar Second Division and they also play in the Rock Cup.
The club was founded as Boca Juniors Gibraltar F.C. in 2012, and joined the Gibraltar Second Division for the 2012–13 season. After the Gibraltar Football Association joined UEFA in 2013, the league saw significant expansion and an influx of foreign players, however, a 10th-place finish in the 14 team league was all they could muster in the 2014–15 season. After rebuilding the squad in the now 12 team division, the team finished 8th in the 2015–16 season.
Significant improvements after the departure of Red Imps, Pegasus and Britannia from the league saw an impressive 3rd-place finish in 2017, while the club began referring to themselves as simply Boca Gibraltar. However, 7 points separated Boca from the top two teams, and they missed out on the promotion play-off. A restructuring in summer 2017 saw former goalkeeper and club captain Philip Hermida promoted to Director of Football, with the intention of challenging for promotion in 2018. A 1–1 draw with Ocean Village rivals Bruno's Magpies on the final day secured the Second Division title by a single point on 22 May 2018, ensuring that Boca would play in the Gibraltar Premier Division for the first time the next season.
In February 2019 with the club on the brink of folding, the club was taken over by a group of investors including former player Phillip Hermida, Allen Bula Jr, and former national team coach Aaron Edwards. Though this new consortium managed to keep the team afloat, the team continued to struggle. Potential investment never materialised during the abandoned 2019–20 season, however a rebuild of the squad in summer 2020 began, with new manager Stephen Vaughan Jr. bringing in an influx of British and Italian players to strengthen the side. However, the sponsorship was withdrawn in August,with Vaughan stepping away from the football club to concentrate on his sports management company. Under Edwards, the team started the season brightly, however 2 forfeits due to HGP rule violations, the club was refused domestic licence which resulted in the team expelled from the league on 9 December 2020.

Victoria Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Gibraltar. It is currently used mostly for football matches, but also hosts the annual Gibraltar Music Festival. It is located close to Gibraltar Airport just off Winston Churchill Avenue. It was named after the wife of Gibraltarian philanthropist John Mackintosh.
Despite initial plans to replace the stadium in the 2010s, the Gibraltar Football Association purchased the stadium from the Government of Gibraltar in April 2017 in order to improve and renovate it.
