    Calling all football fans! This is a game you don’t want to miss… Georgia Tech and Florida State go head-to-head in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin on August 24, 2024. 

    These two powerhouse teams are going into battle and thousands of fans are expected to make the trip to the Aviva Stadium in Dublin to lend their support and enjoy what’s sure to be an electrifying game between two giants of college football.

    A global stage

    “Georgia Tech is excited and grateful for the opportunity to return to Ireland and play ACC rival Florida State” said J Batt, Georgia Tech Director of Athletics. “More than 12,000 Tech fans made the trip to Dublin to see the Yellow Jackets defeat Boston College in 2016, and we’re looking forward to a large contingent of Jacket fans crossing the pond once again to cheer on Georgia Tech at Aviva Stadium.” 

    The excitement is just as strong for Florida State, according to Florida State Vice President and Director or Athletics Michael Alford. “This game allows us to provide an unmatched athletic and cultural experience for our student-athletes while representing Florida State on a global stage. I am looking forward to seeing our fans in Dublin while also making new fans across the Atlantic.” 

    Georgia Tech’s punter, David Shanahan, is the first Irishman ever to receive a full scholarship to play American college football.

    Aviva Stadium, Dublin

    "Bowl game"

    The game takes place in the magnificent bowl-shaped Aviva Stadium – home to the Irish Rugby Football Union and the Republic of Ireland national football team, and is Ireland's first and only UEFA Elite Stadium.

    It’s also a concert venue, and has hosted some of the biggest names in music (including Madonna, Rhianna and Neil Diamond). So with a capacity of 48,000, expect the stadium to be packed with excited football fans on August 24th.

    Beyond the stadium

    Frequently voted as one of the world’s friendliest cities, Dublin will extend a warm welcome to fans traveling to celebrate the big game. Expect all the usual college football fanfare, from marching bands to cheerleaders.

    Of course, no football game would be complete without tailgate parties before and after the game – games, music, food, dancing, and maybe a few surprises. Get ready for an epic football weekend!

    And when the football is over, it's time to go exploring! Take your time and see what Dublin has to offer. Or go further afield and discover the romantic castles and ancient standing stones of Ireland's Ancient East, the rugged coastline of the Wild Atlantic Way, and the stunning landscapes and vibrant spirit of Northern Ireland.
