Football at any age

Walking football gives women a way into football at any age: competitive, social and built to last.

Across Europe, national teams of women players are now meeting on the international stage, and the European Walking Football Alliance seeks to give that game the competitions, standards and recognition it deserves.

Why it matters

For many women, walking football is a first chance to play football properly: in a team, in a kit, in front of supporters.

International competition takes that further. It gives players something to aim for, gives clubs a pathway to point to, and shows national associations that the women’s game deserves investment at home.

Where we’re heading

We want to see more nations entering women’s teams, more age categories, and a regular international calendar that players can plan around.

We’ll be working with national associations to help build women’s squads where they don’t yet exist, and to support those already competing.

Partner with us

The women’s international game offers partners something rare: a growing, engaged audience, a genuine story of participation and wellbeing, and visibility across multiple European nations from day one.

If your organisation would like to support the development of women’s walking football at international level, we’d love to talk.
