Walking Football is an inclusive unique small-sided format of the game, it is primarily aimed at the over 50s, and offers the opportunity to maximise
participation for all groups and to encourage sustained participation for players of all abilities.

Created by John Croot in 2011, it is similar in some respects to Association Football and this is what makes it such a great sport.
When playing Walking Football, all your previous skills & memories will come flooding back, because the game is familiar.

The manner in which the sport is played promotes cardiovascular fitness whilst producing the least stress on the body.
and also helps participants maintain an active lifestyle.

Using different sized footballs, when played Indoors a size 4 futsal ball is used, but the Outdoor games utilise a traditional football.
The size of the pitch varies to suit different locations, the length should be from 20 to 40 yards and the width between 15 and 30 yards.

The sport came to wider public attention in July 2014, when Barclays Bank aired a television advertisement featuring walking football to promote their services. In 2018 an International governing body was established to help promote and coordinate international matches between nations.
This body is FIWFA and is based in the UK, who will hold the first Walking Football World Cup in Manchester 2022, with 32 teams in the over 50s and over 60s age bracket. Teams from Asia, Africa, South America and Europe will be present at the World Cup tournament
