The Spanish Ladies Walking Football Team came together in Pilar de la Horadada on May 31 for a tough training session so to gear up for the World Nations Cup, set for October 17 to 19, 2025, in Torrevieja.
The tournament is to be hosted at Torrevieja Sports City and will see over 20 nations, including favourites like England and Italy, compete in the 6 v 6 walking football format, a game designed for players over a certain age, with more focus on skill and strategy rather than fitness. The Spain squad is determined to do well on home soil.
Players had travelled from across Spain, determined to get ready for what looks to be the biggest walking football event in the history of the sport. The technical session, led by coaches Glynn Hague, Richard Coleman, and Jeff Lee, focused on passing, ball control, and tactical awareness, key for the tournament’s fast-paced matches.
