It is not affiliated with FIFA or UEFA and therefore is not eligible to enter either the World Cup or European Championship. The Gozo representative football team has however played a number of Non-FIFA international football matches featuring players who are considered as 'Gozitans' for matches of the Gozo Football League.
Over the years, a Gozo XI has also played friendlies against football clubs - particularly those from the mainland, fielding players playing in the Gozo Football League and, occasionally, Gozitans playing in Malta.
Moreover, as of 2023, Gozo has also participated in 5 editions of UEFA Regions' Cup, with their debut appearance coming in the inaugural edition in 1999.
