GAA staple O’Neills branches out with kit for Congo

Having conquered the GAA world, sportswear company O’Neills have set their sights a little further afield — in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Congolese Leopards compete in football’s Africa Cup of Nations, which kicks off in Equatorial Guinea today, wearing gear manufactured by the Irish company.

O’Neills’ marketing manager Cormac Farrell is still trying to get his head around how the deal came about.
