BEIJING CELTICS - China -

Beijing Celtic was established in 2002 by a few Irish Expats and local Chinese friends who enjoyed playing five-a-side football. The club began to grow as people of all nationalities got involved. The club was promoted to Division 1 in Beijing in 2014 and has progressed rapidly in recent years, winning two cup titles and two league titles in the last three seasons. Celtic now boasts three men's teams and two women's teams, one of which recently secured its first seven-a-side league title.

The team trains every Thursday night from 6-8 pm at Side Park, and they’re the only club in league with three teams in the three CIFL divisions. From their Cup and Title-Holding 1st Team to our recently added 3rd Team we offer competitive football to players of any level. We range from ex-professional and academy players to beginners and welcome all who enjoy playing football and a bit of craic. We’re also proud to have the best bar in town, Paddy O’Shea’s, as our home base as well as our longtime sponsor DHL.
