Lions Gibraltar is a semi-professional football club in Gibraltar. They play in the country's top level league, the Gibraltar Premier Division. They were created by a merger of Gibraltar United F.C. and Lions FC in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://footballgibraltar.wordpress.com/2011/10/02/division-structure/ )〕 ==History== Lions Gibraltar was founded as Lions Football Club in 1966 when a group of friends decided to take up a team after the euphoria of England winning the 1966 World Cup, thus the three lions on our club badge. After a quiet 45 year history, the club merged with league giants Gibraltar United in 2011 to create a much stronger side. After 3 years, however, Gibraltar United broke away to form their own side once again in 2014. In February 2015 the club announced plans to become a feeder club with Premier League club Swansea City, however, these plans fell through. After a disappointing season in which the club finished bottom of the league (avoiding relegation due to the league's expansion), the club announced in July 2015 that it was to be taken over by Hercules Sports Promotion, Ltd, headed by Andrew Flowers (who had previously attempted to purchase Leeds United in 2013). Significant investment by the new ownership meant that Lions would now become a semi-professional club with the aim of toppling Lincoln Red Imps' dominance.〔(LIONS GIBRALTAR TAKEOVER COMPLETE ) GibFootballTalk.
