ABOUT US
A group of English ex-pats in Dubai, all passionate about football, have come together to introduce a sport that allows them to relive the joy of the game. For years, they bonded over their love of the sport, watching Premier League matches and reminiscing about their playing days back in the UK. As they grew older, some found the pace of traditional football too intense or had to step back due to injuries.
Enter Walking Football, with its slower tempo and focus on accessibility, became the perfect solution, offering a way to stay active, socialize, and keep the beautiful game alive for us.
To establish walking football in Dubai as a supportive and inclusive community sport, promoting health, fitness, and social well-being for older adults and those recovering from injuries. Through this initiative, we aim to inspire lifelong participation in football by offering a low-impact, enjoyable, and accessible way to stay active, build friendships, and nurture a love for the game in a safe and welcoming environment.
To become the leading hub for walking football in Dubai, building a vibrant community of teams that champion health, inclusivity, and the spirit of the sport. Our goal is to grow locally, as well forging strong connections across Dubai and the UAE. Establishing a competitive framework that inspires players of all abilities to participate, excel, and celebrate the joy of football at every stage of life.
Our founder, a prominent scout in the original First Division during the 70s and 80s, renowned for his keen eye for talent and deep understanding of the game. Based in England, working closely with clubs such as Leicester City and Charlton. Known for his ability to spot talent, he worked tirelessly to connect promising players with top-tier teams.
