Play GAA in Vancouver with ISSC

Play for ISSC this Summer Season

To all the young Irish heading to Vancouver for the summer, you’re about to experience an unforgettable adventure. A new city, new friends, and endless opportunities await you on the West Coast. Vancouver is full of energy, stunning scenery, and this year, people from all over the world will be travelling to the city for the 2026 World Cup.

Whether you’re playing competitively or just for fun, you’ll feel right at home lacing up the boots with a great group of people. Get stuck in, enjoy every moment, and make this summer one to remember.

Each club only gets 10x Sanctions (Football) and 10x Permits (LGFA), and each summer we get a lot of requests to play, so each sanction and permit applicant must contact the club directly and we will talk you through the process.

Sanctions and Permits are “loan” moves from your club in Ireland to ISSC for the summer months, with the intention of the loanee player returning to play with his/her club at home.

The deadline for Sanctions and Permits is July 1, 2026.

Transfers are open all year for Men’s football, but the LGFA transfer deadline was Tuesday, March 31.

LGFA players can still join the club, if they have not played competitive football in 3 years.
