Watch: GAA Palestine hopes to build pitch in West Bank

Ireland's native games have long fostered relationships with communities around the world.

London-Irish man Stephen Redmond founded GAA Palestine in 2024 following a trip to the West Bank.

GAA Palestine started with one grassroots sports club in Ramallah, Moataz Sarsour GAA Club.

The group is establishing three more in Bethlehem, Hebron and Tulkarem.

Recently, GAA Palestine was given a commitment by the Tulkarem municipality to construct a pitch for the community.

It has also sourced local manufacturers in the West Bank to make hurleys.
