Spain has been chosen to host the World Cup of Nations October 2025 – The World Cup for Walking Football.
Two ex-pat enthusiasts originally from the UK but living on the Costa Blanca were determined to bring the games to Spain after the inaugural games in the UK last year when England won the over 50’s and 60’s cups with Spain coming fourth overall.
Mark Kavanagh, 58, and Mark Coleman, 59, have been playing and coaching Walking Football and have now won the bid to host the games for more than 60 countries around the world. Both coached at semi-professional and professional level with Youth teams and academy professional level in the UK.
The event is held every two years, the first one being held in the UK at St George’s Park in Burton on Trent last year.
Next year Team Spain will enter teams in the over 50’s and 60’s and women over 45. The age groups include 50’s, 60’s and 70’s for men and 45’s, 50’s and 60’s for women.
