Футбольная классика возвращается в Дублин!
Отметьте в календаре субботу, 23 августа 2025 года, когда «Уайлдкэтс» из Университета штата Канзас сразятся с «Сайклонс» из Университета штата Айова перед восторженной международной публикой. Благодаря титульному спонсору Aer Lingus, эти выходные в Дублине вы не захотите пропустить.
The Aer Lingus College Football Classic is back and bigger than ever! In 2025, two top-tier American college teams will face off in front of a roaring international crowd at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium. It's more than just a game – it’s a full-scale festival of culture, sport, and celebration.
Expect marching bands, tailgate parties, cheerleaders, fan fests, and an unmissable atmosphere. Whether you're travelling from the States or just curious about what's happening across Ireland, you'll find yourself swept up in the environment.
As the capital, Dublin is the ideal stage for this sporting showdown. Compact, walkable, and full with charm, the city offers the perfect mix of historic sites and lively pubs to keep fans entertained before and after the match.
Wander down Grafton Street for shopping and live performances, meet furry friends at Dublin Zoo, explore the historic grounds of Trinity College and the famous Book of Kells, or hop on the essential Dublin Hop-On Hop-Off Tour to get a full overview of everything this vibrant city has to offer.
The Aviva Stadium in Dublin 4 is a world-class arena with a capacity of over 50,000 – and on game day, it transforms into a sea of college colours, roaring fans, and pure pageantry. Located just a short hop from the city centre, it's easily accessible via DART or bus.
Its curved glass roof isn’t just eye-catching, it was cleverly designed to protect local residents’ sunlight. Built on the historic site of Lansdowne Road, this national stadium is uniquely shared by both the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU), making it a true hub of Irish sport and a must-see for visitors attending the College Football Classic.
Every year, thousands of US visitors cross the Atlantic to support their alma mater – and we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome them! Whether you're here for football, culture, or the Guinness (we won’t judge), DoIreland is your perfect travel partner.
