The tournament’s arrival in Spain is anticipated to inject more than one million euros into the local economy, with over a thousand participants, including players, management and officials, expected to attend.
The announcement comes as walking football experiences a surge in global popularity, with Spain emerging as a key player. Team Spain, a self-funded organisation, reached the semi-finals of last year’s Nations Cup, losing to host nation and eventual winners England (1-0).
