THE Bohemian Football Club was founded on September 6 1890, they are the oldest football club in Dublin, Ireland. The club are located at Dalymount Park in the Phibsborough area of North Dublin City. Most recently they have made stunning news, announcing a game that is due to be played on May 15. This is a historic friendly match between Bohemian FC women’s team and the Palestinian Women’s National team.

Daniel Lambert has been the chief operating officer at Bohemian Football Club since 2020 and is a great advocate for Bohs. He writes: “To me, this is a club like no other. A fully members-owned club that is operated sustainably, profitably, democratically and with a big net positive impact on society.” Is it any wonder then that they made a decision to give solidarity to Palestine?

Lambert described how the game has come about: “Fans have had Palestinian flags at the games for years and we obviously see strong solidarity in Ireland for Palestine, with fans across the League, not just Bohemians. We’ve got a track record in supporting Palestine and working with Palestine Sports For Life and then we thought, given what’s been happening in the last six months, we should invite the Palestinian National Team. We knew they’d never played here.”
