This eagerly anticipated event will be the fifth time that Global Football has taken teams to the beautiful Emerald Isle. Over the five days that they are in Ireland, teams will become immersed in the culture through Experience Gaelic Games, travel back in time through visits to Dublin’s rich museums and castles, hone their skills through practice times at the University of Dublin, and gear up for the game with team cheerleaders at 4:00 P.M. for a pep rally at Marrion Square.
The triple-header will see fans from across the United States, Ireland, and Great Britain cheering on their favorite offensive and defensive players. The following day, teams will attend an esteemed awards ceremony with family and friends at the historic RDS Center Theater, originally started in 1731 by a group of radical thinkers who believed in the power of ideas and of turning these ideas into action. One player from each team will be nominated to receive the Brian Mullins Award, after one of Ireland’s greatest Gaelic football players. The evening will be followed by sought-after seats at the Georgia Tech versus Florida State game at Aviva Stadium.
The G.I.F.T. programme is part of the #MuchMoreThanAGame initiatives of the Aer Lingus College Football Classic.
The upcoming 2024 Aer Lingus College Football Classic, the third in the five-game series, will see Georgia Tech face off against Florida State University in the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday, 24th August 2024.
