Legendary Dublin footballer Brian Mullins has voiced his pride at the development of Gaelic Games across the world.  

Speaking in Shanghai ahead of this weekend’s FEXCO Asian Gaelic Games, where he will coach a UCD International Ladies Gaelic Football team, Mullins pointed to the positives. 

‘It’s really mind-blowing that our native sports are now a global game. We are as important as Paddy’s Day in terms of promoting Ireland and giving the greater world nations an understanding of what we are about as a people, through our games. 

‘They’re inclusive, they’re easy to play and they’re healthy, so it’s a win-win situation for Gaelic Games and for us as as Irish people’. 

In Precious Nwafor, we also speak to a Nigerian on the UCD team, and Shanghai-born Jack Meng who will be playing for his hometown team at the AGG.
