In episode 30 of Settle In, we spoke to An Ghaeltacht footballer, Franz Sauerland, on what was a momentous 2025 for him and his club.

Sauerland speaks of suffering racial abuse on the field as a teenager, but not letting that deter his ambition to represent his club on the biggest stage of all.

The Gaeltacht defender tells Off The Ball's Rachel Sheehan of his dream to represent his county, missing out on playing in the Intermediate All-Ireland club final, and growing up in a football-obsessed school.
