The football festival, which was founded by eight-time All-Ireland winner Páidí Ó Sé, is supported by Lidl Ireland, EJ Menswear, Kerry County Council Tourism Unit, Fáilte Ireland and Údarás na Gaeltachta, and has attracted over 20,000 club players since it was founded in 1989.
Comórtas Chairman, Pádraig Óg Ó Sé said; “We are thrilled to keep driving forward Páidí’s vision to attract new people to the peninsula every year to play Gaelic football. Clubs are really enthusiastic to be involved and we have planned a great weekend of craic and entertainment for them.”
A special mention is due to Lidl, who are in the seventh year of their partnership with us, Kerry County Council Tourism Unit and Údarás na Gaeltachta who are backing us also to continue with the Comórtas. We are also delighted that fashion retailers EJ Menswear of Sligo, who are related to the Ó Sé family, are again partnering up with us to ensure it will be a weekend to remember.”
Jamie O’Rourke, Partnerships and Events Manager with Lidl Ireland added; “The event is a fantastic display of Gaelic football and having recently launched our new Get Behind the Fight ad campaign which is designed to drive attendance at female sporting events we would encourage the community far and wide to show up and fill every seat and every game.
