Egypt’s first Gaelic football team – the Cairo Celts – held their first training session last week.

There was a great turnout for the session which club members are hoping will be the first of many for the new GAA club, which caters for both male and female players. Beginners are especially welcome!

Like the Hayes Hotel in 1884! Unbelievable turnout for the first ever GAA training in Egypt! Send me or @CairoGaa a message for info how to join! pic.twitter.com/WrrADa3hVa
