The WFLA are thrilled to announce the launch of its new website, https://wfla.org.uk/. The new website features improvements which include, a new ‘Contact Us’ form, much bolder ‘News’ items, new ‘Events,’ ‘Fixtures,’ ‘Results’ pages and a new ‘Galleries’ section.
Therefore, as of the 30th of June 2024, the WFLA current website https://wfla.uk/ will close.
Derek Murr, the WFLA Treasurer says, “We hope that with the new website it improves the user experience and makes for easier site navigation. We would like to invite all walking footballers, officers, and officials of walking football leagues (irrespective of whether you are FA affiliated or not) to explore our new website.”
The WFLA is a free to join, non-political, independent support network whose aims are to help establish, promote, and support FA affiliated walking football leagues. All WFLA national and local tournaments are sanctioned by local FA’s, which sit under the rules and regulations of the Football Association. The WFLA are currently the only national organiser of walking football tournaments that plays to, and recognises, that the playing laws of the game of walking football are as subscribed by the FA, without local amendments.
The WFLA is run by a volunteer Management Committee drawn from member leagues.
We insist that no competition fixtures are played in caged pitches due to the risk of physical contact that inevitably arises in this type of venue. The age categories that we cater for are, mixed over 50s, 60s, 65s and 70s and also women’s over 40s and over 50s. All our referees are vetted and of the highest standard.
We share our ambitions for walking football with the FA and have a representative on the FA’s Walking Football Advisory Group. Free membership is open to the organisers of any local or National FA affiliated walking football league. Our public indemnity multi-event policy number is AN00307409 and we are insured via Event insurance Services Ltd. All of our 2024 ‘Finals’ are supported by St. John Ambulance.
If your league qualifies for membership, or you wish to contact the WFLA from the 1st July 2024, please use our ‘Contact Us’ page on https://wfla.org.uk/contact-us/.
