Conor McGregor surprises fans with appearance for Dublin's Black Forge FC

Conor McGregor made a surprise appearance for Black Forge FC, a local football team he sponsors, playing left wing in a match against Harding FC in Dublin. This marks his return to the field since his injury in July 2021. McGregor wore number 11 and participated in warm-ups, showcasing his fitness. He hinted at his appearance on Twitter, sharing a photo of new football boots. Drogheda United, the current FAI Cup holders, distanced themselves from McGregor after he mistakenly congratulated his cousin for winning the trophy with the wrong team. They clarified their lack of association with him.
