Bohemian Football Club have unveiled their 2026 away jersey in collaboration with Kneecap, with proceeds supporting ACLAÍ Palestine.
As Ireland’s oldest and fan-owned football club, Bohemian FC have partnered with Kneecap to release the jersey, with 30% of profits earmarked for ACLAÍ Palestine. The funds will assist in constructing a community music studio at the Lajee Centre in the occupied West Bank.
The jersey, crafted by Kneecap alongside Bohemian FC designers, symbolises the connection between Irish and Palestinian people. Jamie Goldrick produced the launch video, featuring Kneecap tracks ‘3CAG’ and ‘No Comment’. The video includes clips from the Lajee Centre, Kneecap’s global performances, and the historic Bohemian FC vs Palestine match at Dalymount Park.
The jersey is available at Dalymount Park on 16th and 17th December, with any remaining stock going online on 18th December. Kneecap and Bohemian FC will also host events at Dalymount Park on these dates, featuring exclusive merchandise and DJ sets from Kneecap’s friends.
Daniel Lambert, Bohemian FC’s Chief Commercial Officer, says, “To have also done this in the Irish language and whilst advocating for the rights of oppressed people across the world is an inspiration to so many people.”
Kneecap’s Naoise Ó Cairealláin comments, “We want to help spread the music created at the new studio space as much as we can and platform these artists.”
Ainle Ó Cairealláin, founder of ACLAÍ Palestine, adds, “This project is a symbol of solidarity between Ireland and Palestine, and serves to overcome the isolation that is forced upon Palestinians.”
The initiative aims to support Palestinian musicians and artists amid ongoing challenges, leveraging the combined influence of sports and music.
