A decade of Lajee Celtic: The Palestinian club whose fans include Cantona

In London, nearly 200 people gathered at Edami, a small bakery in East London, to celebrate a decade of Lajee Celtic, a grassroots football club based in Aida refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. What started as a football project has grown into an international symbol of solidarity, with fans including Eric Cantona and Hannah Einbinder. The club's relationship with supporters from Scotland and Ireland developed over years, especially after visits to Belfast and Glasgow, helping to raise awareness of Palestinian issues through football. The event featured Palestinian flags, fresh manousheh, and Lajee Celtic shirts worn by celebrities.
