With the Walking Football World Cup set to take place in Torrevieja this October, drawing teams from across the globe, interest in the sport is surging, especially here in the Costa Blanca.
Leading the local charge is the well-established Playa Flamenca Walking Football Club, proudly celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2024. Based at the C.D.M. sports facility, the club hosts weekly matches every Monday at 4 p.m., welcoming new players aged 50 and over to lace up their boots and join the fun.
Experience is optional but enthusiasm is essential. The club is particularly keen to hear from anyone interested in trying their hand (or gloves) at goalkeeping.

More than just a game, Playa Flamenca Walking Football is known for its vibrant social scene. The team has even been honoured with the “Pride of Spain Award” for community spirit. Post-match gatherings take place at the local favourite, The Thistle and Rose bar, where players, supporters, and WAGs (wives and girlfriends) enjoy a well-earned bite to eat and plenty of camaraderie.
So whether you’re looking to stay fit, try something new, or meet like-minded folks, come along for a kick-off at 4 p.m. on Mondays—you’ll be made to feel right at home.
