Cel123 Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 I'm Head Researcher for Gibraltar for the Football manager game and the Gibraltar Rock Cup Final is today Mons Calpe have a chance of qualifying for the Europa League. They formed 5 years ago. My question is what is the youngest club to play European Football since forming ??

If you're allowed merged clubs then TNS qualified for Europe in their first season, 2003/4. I assume it was after that that Uefa introduced the rule that a club had to be in existence for 3 years before qualifying.

There are probably loads of merged previously existing clubs that quickly entered European competitions but I see Mons Calpe started from scratch. They might have the record.
HibeeJibee Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Tosno the Russian Cup winners and Stumbras the Latvian Cup winners were also founded 2013? EDIT: It seems very complicated in Latvia with bankruptcies and mergers but could Liepaja and Riga FC also be more recent candidates?

Tosno were an amateur club that switched to professional, not sure how fussy the OP is being about this. Stumbras look like a brand new Academy team, but there may have been an amateur team before?
