"The Fields of Athenry" is an Irish folk Ballad set during the Great Irish Famine (1845-1850) about a fictional man from near Athenry in County Galway who has been sentenced to transportation to botany Bay, Australia, for stealing food for his starving family. It is a widely known and popular anthem for Celtic FC fans and Irish sports supporters.
