Dalian Gaelic Football

Calling all sports fans!

A new sport is coming to Dalian: Gaelic Football! For those who don't know, Gaelic football is an Irish sport, lying somewhere between soccer and rugby! It is an extremely fast, skilful, high-scoring and action-packed sport. Faster-paced and more physical than soccer, this sport is extremely popular in Ireland, especially in the summer when the All-Ireland Championships are held.


Anyways, some Irish people in Dalian have set up a Gaelic football team here, the aim being to compete in the Asia Gaelic Games competition in Shanghai in September! The lads are looking for all people, men and women, from all countries to join in. Training will be held in Olympic Square at 6pm on Saturdays, the first training session being held today!

If you are looking for a new sport, then I reckon this could be a good chance! For more info, you can contact me.
