The WFA Affiliation for 2024/25

Affiliation to The WFA costs £75 per club.

Affiliation runs from April 1st to March 31st annually.

You will have noticed that this is an increase on the affiliation cost for last year, but this is because the cost of the full Personal Accident cover for Walking Football players at the club has increased substantially. We had no option but to increase the cost of affiliation to cover the increased cost of cover.

This extra cost, still represents great value as it covers all the players at your club, rather than on a team by team basis as some other insurance does.

Are you an existing affiliated club ready to re-affiliate?

If your club is already affiliated, and listed on the club directory, then all you need to do to take out the new affiliation is to use the My ACCOUNT link in the menu to login to your account. Once on your dashboard your see the option to pick the new 2023/2024 affiliation.
