On Friday, August 8th, a delegation of young Palestinian boxers from Ramallah received a warm welcome to Waterford, during a special stop on the Shamrock and Olive Tree Boxing Tour – a cross-cultural initiative promoting unity through sport.

The boxers were greeted by Cllr. Seamus Ryan Mayor of Waterford City and County, and Conor D. McGuinness T.D.

This was the final leg of the Palestinian Boxing Tour 2025 tour, which saw the squad competing against clubs in Dublin, Belfast and Waterford.

The boxers were also greeted by members of the Waterford-Ramallah Twinning Committee who turned out in support of the visitors, after which they were hosted by local families over the weekend.
