Walking Football Clubs Celebrate with Tournaments, Festivals and Community Spirit

Walking Football continues to thrive across Scotland, bringing players together not just for the love of the game, but to support great causes and build lasting friendships. Recent events showcased this brilliantly, with clubs marking anniversaries, honouring local heroes, and enjoying festivals of football.

Parkinson's Walking Football ⬇️

Stirling Albion’s Parkinson's WF participants had the opportunity to take on some of their regular WF participants this week at Forthbank.

A huge well done to all for your continuous support which is much appreciated and showing that there’s no barriers to participation!

Oriam Walking Football Club – 10th Anniversary Invitational

On 24 June, Oriam Walking Football Club hosted an Invitational Tournament to celebrate their 10th anniversary at Oriam, Scotland’s National Performance Centre.

The event, proudly sponsored by Scott Coppola Electrical Distributors, supported Oriam WF’s chosen charity, Alzheimer Scotland.

Teams representing Hearts, Hibernian, Pollok, Dundee East, Stenhousemuir, Gala Fairydean, Dunbar WFC 2017, and Oriam took part in both Over 50 and Over 65 competitions.

A fantastic day of football ended with Pollok crowned champions in both age groups. Afterwards, players gathered in the Oriam Lounge to enjoy refreshments and social time.

Thanks to the generosity of participating teams—and contributions from Tweedvale and Dunfermline, who couldn’t attend—a brilliant total of £1,200 was raised for Alzheimer Scotland.

Paul Rendall, Chairman of Oriam Walking Football Club, said:

“Today was a great example of the power of Walking Football and the strength of the Walking Football family. We’re very grateful to all of the Clubs for helping us celebrate our anniversary year and raising funds for a charity which does so much valuable work all across Scotland.”

Oriam Walking Football Club run sessions at Oriam for women aged 40+ and men aged 50+:

• Mondays 12:30pm–1:30pm

• Wednesdays 12pm–1pm and 8:30pm–9:30pm

• Fridays 12:30pm–1:30pm

New players are welcome (first session free). Contact Deric Oliver on 07803 508401 or email dericandjoan@btinternet.com to get involved.

It’s been a busy few weeks for Pollok as they also travelled to Melton Mowbray to play in a Walking Football 60's competition where they were also victorious.

Whitletts Victoria – Walking Football for All

Meanwhile, Whitletts Victoria recently hosted their own walking football event, supported by Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland.

Over 200 people took part, with no scores, trophies or medals—just the pure enjoyment of the game. The emphasis was on participation, fun, and community, highlighting what makes walking football so special.

Arbroath – The 4th George Muir Memorial Walking Football Festival

Over in the east, Arbroath were proud to host the 4th George Muir Walking Football Festival. Following George’s passing at age 83, the festival was renamed the George Muir Memorial Walking Football Festival in honour of his enormous contribution to football in the town.

The event once again drew an excellent turnout, with players travelling from across the region to celebrate the game and pay tribute to George’s legacy.

RUGBY CLUB HOST A WALKING FOOTBALL FRIENDLY

Falkirk Foundation WFC hosted a no age limit, mixed gender friendly at Grangemouth Stags Rugby Club indoor astro facility in the Old Town in Grangemouth where their first guests of the year were Stenhousemuir WFC.

Both sets of players played the games in the right spirit with calories burnt being the ultimate winner on the night. 🏃‍♂️⚽️

Falkirk Foundation plan to do a few more of these low key fun friendlies so if your club are looking to travel away and play indoors contact, Falkirk Foundation as they would be glad to meet more friends.

East Perthshire Derby Brings Clubs Together at Davie Park

It was great to see our friends from Blairgowrie & Rattray Community Football Club and Scone WFC come together for the East Perthshire derby.

A big thank you to both teams for making it such an enjoyable occasion, and to everyone involved in hosting the friendly at the wonderful Davie Park. It’s always fantastic to see local clubs building the game and community spirit together!

John Clark Memorial Cup Marks 10 Years of Walking Football at Ayr United

More than 60 players took part in the first John Clark Memorial Cup, organised by the Ayr United Football Academy Walking Football programme in conjunction with hosts Shoot Soccer in Ayr.

The event celebrated the 10th anniversary of Ayr United’s walking football programme and was named in honour of their friend and former player John Clark. It was a special moment to have John’s wife Ruth there to present the trophy and medals. Congratulations to Somerset Strollers, who came out on top after beating Parkhouse Plodders in the final, while Walking Deaders overcame Tryfield Trotters in the consolation final.

A huge thanks to all the teams who took part in a fantastic day, where the focus was as much on fun and enjoyment as on winning. Many thanks also to the walking football committee members—Andy McInnes, David Watson and George Robertson—for their hard work in organising the event and keeping everything running smoothly.

And a big thank you to Allan and his team at Shoot Soccer for looking after everyone so well and for their continued support of the Walking Football programme.

Keeping Walking Football Strong!

These events show the huge impact Walking Football continues to have—keeping people active, building friendships, and supporting causes that matter. Congratulations to all the clubs and players involved.

WFS Board Update

Thank You to Kenny McLean and Gordon McAllister

As we mark the end of an era for WFS, we extend our deepest thanks to President Kenny McLean and Treasurer Gordon McAllister, who are now stepping down from their long-standing roles.

Both Kenny and Gordon have served WFS as dedicated volunteers, giving freely of their time, energy, and expertise over many years. Their commitment has been instrumental in shaping the success and spirit of our organisation.

Kenny became President in December 2022 and has been a steady and passionate leader, guiding WFS with vision, integrity, and unwavering dedication. Under his stewardship, we have seen partnerships formed with charity partners such as Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland, as well as our ongoing collaboration with Parkinson’s UK. His leadership has helped the organisation grow stronger and more connected to the community.

Kenny said:

“After much reflection, I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to hang up my boots and step down from my role as President and Trustee of Walking Football Scotland.

The past four years have been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with unforgettable moments, meaningful milestones and a deep sense of pride in what we’ve achieved together.

It has been an absolute privilege to work alongside such dedicated, passionate, and professional individuals who have consistently put the aims, objectives & ethos of Walking Football Scotland at the heart of everything we do. Their unwavering commitment to promoting the physical, mental and social benefits of walking football has been truly inspiring.

To every trustee I’ve had the honour of working with, I hold you in the highest regard. Your guidance, support and friendship have meant the world to me and I’m genuinely grateful for the journey we’ve shared.

While I’m stepping away from my official role, my admiration and support for Walking Football Scotland remains as strong as ever.”

Gordon, who took on the role of Treasurer in 2021, has been the backbone of our financial stability, ensuring every penny was accounted for and every decision made with care and responsibility. His tireless work behind the scenes has allowed the organisation to thrive, both on and off the pitch.

Together, their contributions will be remembered for years to come. On behalf of the entire WFS family, we thank you both for your exceptional service, your passion, and your friendship.

We wish you all the best in your next chapters — and we know you’ll always be part of the WFS family.

Player of the Month (June) - Hayley Preece & Stephen Cumming

---

We’re keeping up with our monthly spotlight on Walking Football Scotland Players of the Month in partnership with Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland.

For June the Walking Football Scotland Women’s Player of the Month is Hayley Preece! Hayley, 41, plays with Braehead FC.

Walking Football Scotland Men’s Player of the Month is Stephen Cumming! Stephen, 61, plays with Stenhousemuir.

Congratulations Stephen and Hayley! They shared their reflections on what walking football means to them.

Why did you get involved in walking football?

Hayley: “I got involved with walking football to give myself a kick up the backside after a bit of a health scare and get back to a healthier lifestyle.

I played to a decent standard in my youth and after seeing a local advert for walking football my curiosity peaked. I haven’t looked back since.”

Stephen: “I was off work with stress & anxiety and heard that Stenhousemuir were doing a sport called walking football. I went along and stood near the goalie who filled me in on the rules and before I knew what was happening I was playing in their next session and loved the feeling of playing football again, albeit at a slower pace, which to be honest suited me. I enjoyed it that much that I retired early to perfect my skills.”

What positive impact has walking football had on your life?

Hayley: “The positive impact on my health and wellbeing has been significant. Not just through the exercise but from the long-lasting friendships I have made. I have a great team and thankful they still want me around even though I sky the ball over the crossbar several times a game!

I went back to 11 aside football for a couple of years because of walking football and my inner child was very happy indeed!”

Stephen: “It gets me out the bed in the morning and helps greatly with my mental health. I feel I have acquired more friends (who all share a similar interest) and enjoy the banter and competitiveness of our sessions whilst keeping myself fit. Who knew I would still be playing football at my age. It is a wonderful feeling.”

What would you say to encourage others to come along?

Hayley: “Regardless of size, ability, experience or fitness get yourself a long and give it ago. I have yet to meet anyone who regrets giving it a try. Lots of laughs, fun and of course some excellent walking footie to be had. As a woman and part of the LGBT community, football has never felt so inclusive.

Having osteoarthritis in my hip now and still being able to play is great. No excuses!”

Stephen: “The slower version of the game we love, gets a bit of a teasing by those still active enough to play 11s or 5 aside, but I would say, don’t knock it until you try it. If you have lost some of your speed or have underlying health issues this sport could be a life saver. Usually the first session is free, so no harm done if it’s not for you. Most people that take the first step come back for more.”

WFS O65's Men's Regional Cup - West Champions!

Today marked the final WFS Regional Event of this half of the season, hosted at the prestigious Oriam National Performance Centre, as we welcomed the Men’s Over 65s Regional Cup.

It proved to be a tremendously tight contest throughout, with an impressive standard of football on display and some truly outstanding individual and team performances. The level of competition was a credit to everyone involved, but in the end, it was the West Region who once again rose to the top.

Under the guidance of manager Eric Dunion, the West Region remained unbeaten throughout the day, showing resilience, teamwork, and consistency to retain their title and make it two-in-a-row in the O65s category.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the players, referees, regional managers and assistants for their dedication and support in making today such a success. The spirit of walking football was clear to see — respect and full of camaraderie.

Congratulations once again to the West Region on a well-earned victory! We look forward in the commencement of the new Regional Trophy events which will take place in October and November.

Close Finish in Blackpool for Scottish Sides

A couple of our clubs recently took part in the annual Blackpool walking football event, representing Scotland proudly. Among the standout performances was Linlithgow Rose, who made it all the way to the final.

Although they narrowly missed out on taking home the trophy, finishing as runners-up, it was an excellent effort and a great weekend for all involved. Congratulations to everyone who took part!

Parkinson's Scottish Cup 2025

Saturday marked a truly historic moment for Walking Football Scotland as we proudly hosted the inaugural Parkinson’s Scottish Cup. A day that will live long in the memory and serve as a huge milestone in the growth of the game across the country.

The creation of a dedicated tournament for players living with Parkinson’s is testament to how far we’ve come in growing and shaping the walking football landscape in Scotland. What was once a niche variation of the beautiful game has now evolved into an inclusive, supportive and empowering community, with this new category now standing proudly in its own right.

We extend our heartfelt thanks and congratulations to the three fantastic teams who took part in the competition:

• Celtic FC Foundation

• Glasgow Life

• Hibernian Community Foundation

Each team played with heart, spirit, and sportsmanship, supported passionately by friends and family lining the touchline. The encouragement and energy from the sidelines were as powerful as the performances on the pitch—and showed just how strong this community has become.

To all the participants, your passion, perseverance, and love for the game were an inspiration to everyone in attendance. You continue to show that Parkinson’s is no barrier to taking part in sport, camaraderie, and the sheer joy of playing walking football.

This event wasn’t just a competition—it was a celebration of resilience, progress, and unity. A major milestone not only for those who played on the day but for the continued development of inclusive football in Scotland.

We encourage anyone living with Parkinson’s who wants to stay active, meet others, and experience the benefits of walking football to get involved. Together working with Parkinson’s UK, we’re proud to support our clubs in providing dedicated Parkinson’s walking football sessions across the country, helping more people stay connected, active, and empowered through the game.
