None other than Greta Thunberg has been spotted showing her support for Irish football club Bohemian FC.
The well-known climate activist was seen wearing one of the club’s most sought-after jerseys as she set sail on board the Madleen, as part of an effort to bring aid to Gaza.
Thunberg appeared in a social media clip explaining the expedition, donning the club’s third jersey, sponsored by Fontaines D.C. in the process.
“We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide and the world's silence is deadly. That is why we have to keep trying everything we can, even if the odds are against us.”

The limited-edition jersey was a fundraising effort and collaboration between the band and club to try to bring relief into the Gaza Strip.

The club, more commonly referred to as Bohemians or Bohs, has been increasingly vocal about their support for the cause, with the club’s senior women’s team welcoming the Palestine women’s international side to Dalymount Park just last year.

The club’s Chief Operating Officer Daniel Lambert is manager of Kneecap, who have also been consistent in their activism.
Thunberg is one of 12 people hoping to bring aid to Gaza as the group set sail from Sicily on Sunday.
