Walking football is a fun, non-contact sport and it takes place in the Butler Community Centre in Waterford City every Thursday from 11am to 12 noon.
It offers significant physical and mental health benefits.
One of those involved with the initiative commented: “As a team-based activity, Walking Football is a great way to socialise and meet others.”
The game has simple rules designed with health and safety in mind.
Only non-contact tackling is allowed and the ball must never go above head height.
Walking football is played on small pitches with small goals and five, six or even seven-a-side teams.
It can be played on natural grass, on 3G/4G artificial pitches or indoors.
