Celtic game · Iberian spirit

One city.
Nearly 30 nations.

GAA Portugal began in 2017 with a goal: give Lisbon a team capable of carrying Portugal into European Gaelic games.

Lisbon Celtiberos became far more than a team. It is a place to improve fitness, learn a new sport, practise languages and build friendships in a new city. Irish experience is welcome, but never required—most members join for the people and discover the game along the way.

“Fitness, fun, friendship and community—this is what keeps the club growing.”
