The club has received £36,000 as a result of Gibraltar international Gosling's participation in Euro 2016 qualifying games under an agreement made between governing body UEFA and the European Club Association that remunerates clubs for releasing players for international competition.
Gosling, who is currently on loan at Forest Green Rovers, played for Gibraltar in six games between 2014 and 2016 and Rovers are one of 60 English clubs to have shared £33 million as part of the programme.
Premier League club Liverpool received the greatest share of the handout to English clubs in the Europe-wide scheme that saw UEFA distribute £129 million across 54 member associations and 641 clubs.
A total of £86 million was shared between the 20 associations of the nations that qualified for the finals held in France last summer, while £43 million was distributed between the 34 nations that didn't qualify.
The 641 clubs receiving solidarity payments represents a record number. Clubs who benefitted ranged from the elite level to the amateur tier with even fifth division sides from several national associations receiving funds.
"I am very pleased to see that we are able to provide financial benefits to so many clubs of all profiles and sizes in order to reward their contribution to UEFA EURO 2016," UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin said. "By sharing revenues from a highly successful European Championships we continue to support football development in all our member associations."
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Chairman of the ECA, added: "Clubs are investing substantial resources in the development of players, who contribute to the sporting and financial success of national team football.
"Therefore, it is important and fair to recognise and reward the clubs for the release of their players. ECA is pleased that a serious agreement was found with UEFA, which benefits so many clubs from across Europe."
