The head of Derry GAA has said it is "an honour" to host the GAA World Games in memory of a young Derry woman who died tragically eight years.
Lisa Orsi, who played for Ardmore in Derry and had represented her county before moving abroad, was 22 years old when she became acutely ill with altitude sickness on a volcano trek in 2015 and sadly died.
Her father, Dennis Orsi, has been working behind the scenes through a foundation set up in his daughter's memory to bring the World Games to Derry city - as a way of both honouring Lisa's legacy and as a showcase of the vibrancy and diversity of Gaelic games worldwide.
