STFC Community Foundation have launched a new Walking Football League at their state-of-the-art sporting facility Foundation Park, and are calling for local players and teams to jump on-board. Since the start date in September, the first Walking Football league in Wiltshire began with a league 8 teams taking part, with over 60 new Walking Footballers taking to the pitch.

With word of the league spreading across the County, we expanded to 12 teams, and introduced a division system with a Division 1 and a Division 2. This also allows us to introduce a promotion/relegation element, providing a more competitive experience for the teams.

Foundation Park Walking Football League (FPWFL) is a 6-a-side league that will give all teams 2 matches per fixture night. Aimed at players aged 50 and above, this will offer the opportunity to play the sport they love in an enjoyable and safe environment. All matches will take place on a Thursday evening from 8 PM.

The league will give the players major health benefits from playing Walking Football on a weekly basis, which will also offer huge social and mental health benefits too.

If you’re an individual interested or you have a group of friends who would be interested in getting involved within the league, then please contact Community Development Officer James Sims who will be able to provide you with more information on how to get involved!
