Get ready, folks! American College Football is making a grand return to Dublin, bringing all the lively action back to our beloved Aviva Stadium. For the sixth time in just twelve years, the Aer Lingus College Football Classic will take centre stage, and this time, it’s Florida State taking on Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech is set to return to Ireland for the second time since their close win against Boston College at the Aviva Stadium in 2016, where they edged out a 17-14 victory. Meanwhile, Florida State University, known as the Seminoles, will be making their debut on Irish soil for this thrilling match-up!
The Aviva Stadium, nestled in the heart of Dublin, is one of Ireland’s premier sports venues. The stadium can comfortably host 48,000 fans for American Football events and is known for its electric atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for international showdowns.
Last year, Notre Dame and Navy’s brought a sellout crowd of 49,000, including 39,176 Americans, setting a new world record for the largest number of Americans travelling internationally for a single sporting event.
This year’s event promises to be just as spectacular, offering an unforgettable experience for both locals and tourists alike! Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 24, 2024.
