For anyone who has heard about walking football in Benalmadena, but never played before, here’s a short overview:
There’s a minimum age of 50, residents or frequent visitors are welcome, it’s 3-touch football, there’s no running with or towards the ball, and there’s no contact or tackling from behind. Teams for two games are selected the night before and vary from 6 to 10 aside depending on numbers, with skill levels matched as best as possible.

They have players into their 80s, and skill levels really do vary, so don’t be put off trying out if, like some, you haven’t played since you were a young man. They’re not part of a league, so it’s all about playing a game and then enjoying a beer afterwards. The social side is, if not more important than, the game.
