The 2018–19 Gozo First Division (known as the BOV GFA First Division for sponsorship reasons) is the 72nd season of the Gozo Football League First Division, the highest division in Gozitan football. The season began on 14 September 2018.[1] Victoria Hotspurs are the defending champions following their title win the previous season.
Format
The season is composed of a round-robin system where each team plays each other three times, totalling 21 games. The seventh-placed team will play a relegation play-off with the second-placed team in the Second Division. Most of the matches are scheduled to be played at the Gozo Stadium, with Sannat Ground and Kerċem Ajax Stadium being used as well.
