Just landed in Shenzhen? Searching for a new sporting challenge, a fresh circle of friends, or simply a solid excuse to raise a glass? Look no further.

Never played Gaelic football? Doesn't matter. Not Irish? Even better. The Celts don't check passports, they check energy levels.

So… What Exactly Is Gaelic Football?

Imagine the pace of football, the physicality of rugby, and the aerial acrobatics of basketball, all stirred together with an unmistakable Irish soul.


Gaelic football is one of Ireland's most treasured national sports, with the modern game tracing its roots back to the late 19th century. But today, it's gone global, and Shenzhen has claimed it as its own.

The Shenzhen Celts are a vibrant mosaic of men and women from every corner of the world. Some arrive for the competition, the thrill of the chase, the burn of the run. Others come for the camaraderie, the laughter, the pints, the community. Most end up staying for both.

Step Onto the Pitch

The Open Practice at 10 AM is tailor-made for complete beginners. No experience? No gear? No problem. Just show up in sportswear, bring water, and bring willingness. The Celts will handle the rest, teaching the basics, delivering a killer Saturday morning workout, and making sure every newcomer leaves with a smile.

Then Stay for the Quiz Heard 'Round the Bay

After last year's legendary showdown, the Celts Back to School Pub Quiz returns at 6 PM at Happy Monk Qianhai.

And a fair warning: this is no gentle trivia night. This is a battle of wits, a clash of brains, and an all-out assault on obscure knowledge.

Gather your squad (maximum 6 players) and prepare for an evening of cunning questions, ice-cold drinks, and seriously desirable prizes.

Prizes for every round winner

RMB 200 per team, and every yuan raised goes straight to fueling the Celts as they charge toward the upcoming AGG Tournament in Hong Kong.

Whether the goal is a new sport, a new social circle, or simply a pint and some top-tier company, the Shenzhen Celts are waiting.

New players. New faces. New friends. Always welcome.
