Sevilla fans warm to Gaelic football

Some 30,000 Spanish soccer fans at Sevilla’s Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan got a taste of Gaelic football last night, with players from the local Éire Óg Sevilla club playing an exhibition game at half-time of the Primera Division side’s clash with Granada.

After Sevilla’s Euro 2012 winning stars Jesús Navas and Álvaro Negredo starred in the first half against their Andalucian neighbours, the Éire Óg players — male and female, Irish, Spanish and Scottish — played a six minute seven-a-side game to showcase the sport to local fans.

Sevilla won the game 3-0.
