Rwanda will participate in the inaugural Walking Football World Nations Cup which will take place in England, from August 24 to August 26.
Walking Football is a special small-sided ball game created by British John Croot in 2011. It’s similar in some respects to Association Football and this is what makes it such a great sport.
Contrary to normal Football, the Walking Football team comprises six players including a goalkeeper and five players. Players are only supposed to walk with the ball rather than running with it.
There are now thousands of teams and sessions all over the UK with players now featuring in over 50s, over 60, and over 70s. The sport has also proved popular with women and is played by women from over 40s.
Rwanda is among three African countries that will take part at the biennial tournament alongside Nigeria and Egypt.
