The beautiful game, at every age, across the globe.

Walking football has quietly become one of the fastest-growing ways nations are building international sides and competing on the world stage.
The Global Walking Football Alliance (GWFA) was founded to give this growing international community a true home: a place where national associations can connect, compete, and work together toward formal, lasting recognition within football's existing structures.
We're not here to reinvent the game. We're here to make sure every nation that wants to compete at this level, can.
01
From grassroots to national associations, GWFA connects walking football players and organisers across every continent, sharing standards, support, and a sense of belonging.
02
Walking football keeps people moving, social, and part of a team, at a stage of life when many feel football has left them behind. GWFA exists to protect and grow that.
03
Our long-term ambition is to work with FIFA, UEFA, and national federations, building walking football into football's existing structures rather than alongside them. It's a goal we're working toward, not a partnership already in place.
