Aidan Breen is a Gaelic footballer. He plays senior football for Tempo Maguires and the Fermanagh county team.
Breen is the son of Jamesie and Rita Breen. He tested positive for COVID-19 on 3 October 2020 after attending a Fermanagh training session the previous evening. He volunteered for the test on a "precautionary" basis (not believing himself to be a close contact) because of an outbreak locally, including in a shop he had visited on 1 October, and among other members of the Fermanagh team.[1] [2] [3] Breen became the first current inter-county player to discuss his experience of the virus in detail as Fermanagh unsuccessfully attempted to have their next National Football League game against Clare in Ennis postponed.[1] [4] [5] He experienced "a couple of very tough days", with low energy, a headache and breathing problems, and when these subsided he still had difficulty running.[1] Breen travelled to the game in his own car, as became the established practice to combat the virus.[6]
As of the end of the 2021 season, he had made 92 appearances for Fermanagh.[7]
