Irish football

Irish football encompasses both association football (soccer) and Gaelic football, unique to Ireland. The sport is governed by the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) for soccer, with the national team competing in international tournaments like the World Cup and Euro. Irish soccer clubs participate in domestic leagues such as the League of Ireland and European competitions. Gaelic football, governed by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), is a traditional Irish sport combining aspects of soccer and rugby, played mainly at amateur level. Both sports hold cultural significance, fostering community spirit and national pride across the island.
