Costa Gaels · Costa del Sol
The club.
More than a team.
Players. Families. Volunteers. Friends. One community brought together by Gaelic games in Andalucía.
Our place on the Costa
A home for Gaelic games.
A club for everyone.
Costa Gaels is a welcoming, volunteer-led Gaelic games club serving the Costa del Sol and the wider Andalucía community.
What begins on the training pitch quickly becomes something bigger: friendship, confidence, shared identity and a network of people who look out for one another.
Whether you grew up with Gaelic football or have never held an O’Neills ball before, there is a place here for you.

Community is at the heart of the club. Everything we do should enrich the place and the people we represent.

Inclusiveness
Everyone is welcome. We stand firmly against racism, sectarianism and discrimination in every form.
Respect
We respect one another on and off the field, act with integrity and protect the welfare of every player.
Teamwork
Effective teamwork is the cornerstone of our Association—on the pitch, behind the scenes and throughout our community.
