UEFA Toolkit

In celebration of the International Day of Older Persons, UEFA announces the launch of the Walking Football Toolkit – a comprehensive resource designed to help national associations, leagues, clubs and local organisations enhance the health of older people and support the growth of walking football and physical activity more broadly.

The toolkit is divided into three key documents:

• A main document covers essential topics such as the benefits of walking football, characteristics of older participants, roles of the different people involved and medical recommendations to ensure participant safety.

• A second document provides forms, suggested training sessions and checklists for recreational play. This guidance on recreational walking football highlights flexibility as a fundamental principle in non-competitive settings, enabling organisations to adapt activities to meet their local context and participants’ needs and preferences.

• A third document outlines competitive play, with the Laws of the Game for those interested in a structured, competitive approach.
