“If you run for pleasure, you don’t get tired,” and if you walk for pleasure, you always get there. It is with this motto that FC Porto presents Walking Football, a new initiative that reinforces its commitment to inclusive sport and the well-being of the community.
Implemented in Portugal by the Portuguese Football Federation, with the Porto Football Association as the pioneering body, this program was designed for men and women between the ages of 50 and 95, allowing them to play football in an adapted, safe, and accessible way. In addition to encouraging physical activity, Walking Football promotes social interaction, health, and the maintenance of an active life, regardless of age.
Walking Football will become part of the club’s regular program of activities from September, in the 2026/2027 season, with weekly sessions at the following times:
Schedule 1: Mondays, from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm and Thursdays, from 8:50 pm to 9:50 pm
Schedule 2: Mondays, from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm and Thursdays, from 9:50 pm to 10:50 pm
The schedule may be changed if competitions or other activities are scheduled at New Balance Park.
The annual registration fee, which includes personal accident insurance for the entire 2026–27 season (10 months), costs 60 euros, while the monthly fee is 25 euros. If registration is completed by September 15, participants will benefit from a 10% discount on the registration fee.
Places are limited, so interested participants should apply as early as possible by filling in the form available on the FC Porto Portal: Walking Football – 2026/27 Pre-registration Form
