The Celta Malaga Gaelic Football team train in Malaga, but often travel around the Costa del Sol and Andalucia to play tournaments and train. It’s a friendly, welcoming social group centred around Gaelic Football. All levels are welcome.
The Irish sporting revolution taking the Costa del Sol by storm – and why you should join in
Forget the usual five-a-side or the gym grind – there’s a new sporting craze heating up in Malaga, and it’s bringing people together from all walks of life. Celta Malaga Gaelic Football Club is proving that you don’t have to be Irish (or even have the faintest clue about Gaelic football) to get stuck in, have a laugh, and make amazing new friends.
This fast-paced, high-energy sport is part rugby, part football, and all about team spirit. And with trips to Lisbon, Seville, and Gibraltar on the cards, it’s not just about what happens on the pitch – it’s a whole lifestyle.
A sporting family in the heart of Malaga
Based at Olimpica Victoriana pitch, just a stone’s throw from the city centre, the club offers training sessions twice a week for both men and women, catering for absolute beginners and seasoned athletes alike.
For the ladies – Whether you’re a total newbie or have the footwork of a pro, the women’s panel is a mix of training tailored for all levels. They compete across Andalucia, Iberia, and even Europe, making it a seriously exciting way to keep fit.
For the gents – Men’s training follows the same format, with separate levels depending on experience and in-house matches to sharpen skills before tournaments. If you’ve ever wanted to play a sport that’s as much about camaraderie as competition, this is it.
Why people are signing up in droves
Beyond the thrill of the game, Celta Malaga is about something even more valuable – community. Expats, locals, students, and professionals are all part of the mix, with one thing in common: they love the buzz of playing together.
