Over 200 days of horror have unfolded for the people of Gaza. Over the months Irish people have showed solidarity as best they can attenidng protests and fundraising. This football match presents another opportunity to do that. A large turnout at the match would show the Palestinian team that Irish solidarity is not wavering.

The Palestinian Ambassador to Ireland Dr. Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid said: “I am very proud to welcome our women’s football team that will be playing in Ireland for the first time in its history. Thank you to the Irish people and thank you Bohemian FC.”

Tickets for the game (adult €40, concession €20) will cover the visit of the Palestinian team and delegation, with the remainder will be split between charities Palestine Sport for Life, Medical Aid for Palestinians and Aclaí Palestine.

Matt Devaney, President of Bohemian FC said: “We want this to be a very special few days for the Palestinian team visiting Ireland. We hope the public get behind our efforts to raise a substantial sum to assist and highlight the plight of people in a truly dire situation.”
