Gaelic football to make La Liga debut in Seville

Twelve months after hurling was showcased in front of NFL fans before Superbowl XLVI, an exhibition game of Gaelic football will be played during half-time of a La Liga Primera Division game in Seville next Monday.

As part of Irish day at Sevilla FC, the local GAA club, Éire Óg Sevilla, have been invited to play on the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan pitch during the interval of the hosts’ clash with Granada.

The showcase is part of Sevilla FC’s marketing plan to attract more non-Spanish people to become members of the club.
