How Do Walking Football Tournaments Work?

Most tournaments follow a simple, inclusive format:

  • Teams typically play 6-a-side or 7-a-side on smaller pitches
  • Matches are played at walking pace with strict no-running rules
  • Games are shorter than traditional football (usually 10–20 minutes per half)
  • Age groups often include 40+, 50+, 60+, and sometimes mixed or women-only categories
  • Emphasis is always on fun, fair play, and safety

Entry requirements, costs, and formats vary by event — check the individual listings for full details.
