GAA Palestine Head to Jordan Following Irish Tour Cancellation

GAA Palestine Head to Jordan Following Irish Tour Cancellation

GAA Palestine’s Resilient Journey to Jordan

GAA Palestine has made a remarkable shift in plans as their players and mentors have arrived in Jordan for a summer camp. This change came after their initial tour of Ireland was canceled due to visa denials. The group, consisting of 33 Palestinian children and young teenagers, had been set to arrive in Dublin on Friday, but they were denied entry by the Department of Justice.

In a statement, GAA Palestine expressed that despite the “heartbreaking” decision to cancel the Irish tour, the group turned “adversity into an opportunity for breakthrough.” They announced a 10-day summer camp in Amman, Jordan. The group of 33 from the West Bank had planned to travel to Ireland this weekend, and they lodged an appeal after their visas were rejected. However, they were forced to cancel as the appeal would not have been dealt with in time.

A New Chapter of Hope and Resilience

Despite the setback, the group is embracing the new opportunity. GAA Palestine said hurling stars Conor Donohoe and Fergal Whitey will join the tour, along with former Waterford inter-county player Shane Casey. These inspiring players will travel to Amman on Saturday to lead the camp, bringing with them the vibrant energy, professionalism, and rich traditions of Gaelic games.

The arrival of the young players and mentors in Amman has been met with warm greetings from members of the GAA Palestine team. Their arrival marks a new chapter of hope and resilience for GAA Palestine, who continue to defy barriers and inspire others. The summer camp promises an unforgettable experience, blending sport with culture and adventure.

Activities and Experiences in Amman

Participants will explore the historic Amman Citadel, visit the bustling Souk Mango, and enjoy exhilarating ziplining, buggy rides, and climbing adventures at Forest Park. They will watch the All-Ireland hurling final on a big screen, connect with local landmarks like the King Abdullah I Mosque, and indulge in fun-filled days at amusement and water parks. Most importantly, they will learn and grow through coaching sessions led by committed volunteers and coaches.
