The Gozitan national team is considered to be a different cause from Gozo FC even though both of them are very similar to each other since both of them represent the island of Gozo. They differ because while Gozo FC competes in the Maltese Leagues the Gozitan national team doesn't compete in any Maltese Leagues. However the squad of the national team is practically the same as the Gozo FC squad.
The Gozo national team football matches are held at the Gozo Stadium.
