Women have been playing Walking Football nearly as long as men have, but the growth in the last few years has been tremendous and this is only set to continue.
This growth has seen the introduction of Women’s England teams in several age groups and many more women only clubs. The women’s game is exactly the same as the men’s, except women start to play Walking Football competitively at over 40’s.
The WFA is committed to supporting the women’s game at all levels and, in particular, the grassroots level.

Women across the country are discovering Walking Football
The health benefits for women playing Walking Football are undeniable. For many women, this is their first opportunity for a long time to play an organised sport, so when they do, they discover the camaraderie that comes as an added benefit.
Many women who play Walking Football may have never played football before, so Walking Football is a great, slow-paced introduction to the beautiful game.
Our amazing new partnership with AXA
AXA proudly champions Women’s Walking Football. Last year, AXA kicked off an exciting new partnership with The WFA to support clubs across the UK in making the game more inclusive – providing grants to teams and ensuring the beautiful game is accessible to all.
Now, AXA is making it even easier for you to get involved, with free taster sessions in your area!
