Gaelic football

Gaelic football is an Irish team sport combining elements of soccer and rugby. Played on a rectangular field, each team aims to score by sending a round ball into the opponent’s goal (3 points) or over a crossbar (1 point) using a combination of foot, hand, and athletic skill. Players can carry, kick, hand-pass, or solo the ball, and must navigate opponents to score. It’s fast-paced, emphasizing agility, teamwork, and strategic play. Gaelic football is central to Irish culture, with organized leagues and passionate supporters, and is governed by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).
