Croke Park was alive with excitement today as the 2025 LGFA U10 Go Games Festival brought together young footballers from across Ireland for a memorable day of sport and camaraderie.

The festival welcomed 64 clubs representing 31 counties, offering over 1,200 girls the unique opportunity to play on the hallowed turf of GAA headquarters.

Among the participating teams were Naomh Padraig Uisce Chaoin of Donegal and Fenagh of Leitrim, pictured above.

Emphasising fun, participation, and skill development over competition, the Go Games format ensures that every child gets to play and enjoy the experience.

The excitement of travelling to Croke Park and to play is something very special.

For many of these young players, stepping onto the pitch at Croke Park is a dream come true, creating memories that will inspire them for years to come.

SPORT FOR BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE

Children growing up in Dublin can more readily get to play at Croke Park through the Allianz Cumman na mBunscoil tournaments each year.  Extending that chance to clubs and kids from every county is a special way to instill life long love of the sport.
