The Walking Football League, led by former England men’s football captain David Platt, is launching a new initiative with LiveWire Warrington, offering regular sessions for all ages and abilities.
Walking football is rapidly growing in the UK, with over 70% of players playing more than twice a week and 85% seeking more competitive play.
Starting in the second week of September, matches will be held on Monday evenings from 6pm to 9pm at Orford Jubilee Neighbourhood Hub.
The league offers a competitive yet fun environment for all players and teams.
League entry is open to all ages, existing teams, new teams, and businesses aiming to grow good relationships.
Walking Football is a variation of traditional football designed for those looking to stay active without the intensity of running.
The game follows similar rules to regular football but with one important difference: players must walk instead of run. This reduces the risk of injury and makes the sport more accessible to people of all fitness levels and ages…
Warrington Borough Council’s cabinet member for communities, culture and leisure, Cllr Tony Higgins, said: “I’m proud of LiveWire’s continued commitment to making sport accessible. I’m really pleased that the council, through LiveWire, is supporting the new walking football league and I hope many people begin their walking football journey with us. Come along and give it a go!”
