S.S. Lazio Calcio Gaelico

S.S. Lazio Calcio Gaelico, also known as Lazio GAA, is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club based in Rome, Italy.

The club caters for men and ladies' Gaelic football and is part of Polisportiva Lazio, the biggest European multi-sport club known for their association football team. The teams play in the Central-East region of Europe GAA. It is one of the three Italian teams, among with Ascaro Rovigo and Padova Gaelic Football, recognized by GAA.

Originally the club was founded and known as Rome Gaelic Football by an owner of one of the most famous Irish pubs in Rome. Their kits were green and black.

In 2015 they obtained affiliation with Lazio and changed their name, crest and kit colours, now sky and white. The crest is the common symbol of S.S. Lazio, an imperial eagle with a Celtic cross, Polisportiva's Latin motto Concordia parvae res crescunt ("In harmony little things rise") and a Red Hand of Ulster to pay homage to the founder of the former Rome GC club Christopher Taggart, born in County Tyrone. Kits were supplied by Legea for the first two years and now by O'Neills.

Despite its recent foundation, the club has known worldwide fame, most in the Irish media, for a meeting with Pope Francis, to whom they gave an O'Neills ball. The curious picture became viral in Ireland.

They are twinned with Azur Gaels team from Nice, France.
