Retro Magic at Scone WFC’s Classic Football Shirt Day 👕✨
Scone Walking Football Club brought colour, nostalgia and plenty of laughs to their recent session as they hosted a fantastic Classic Football Shirt Day.

First Vienna FC 1894
St Johnstone FC
Dundee United
Liverpool FC
Inter Milan
The rarely-seen Scalloway FC from Shetland
And even the beloved fictional legends of AFC Richmond
It was a fun-packed day celebrating the history and culture of the game we all love. A superb idea delivered perfectly by the Scone family! 👏🔥

Heineken UK Celebrate International Men’s Day With Walking Football 💚⚽
As part of International Men’s Day, staff from HEINEKEN UK’s Edinburgh team came together for a special walking football session delivered in partnership with Hearts FC coaches.
The session celebrated the men across the organisation, promoting physical activity, mental wellbeing, teamwork, and a chance to connect away from the workplace.
It was inspiring to see colleagues from different departments lace up and enjoy the simple joy of the game while supporting wellbeing across the business. A brilliant initiative and a brilliant day. 💚
A Global Game, A Local Connection — A Chance Meeting in Madrid ✈️🏈
Walking football is powerful — not just for health and community, but also for the friendships it creates, sometimes in the most unexpected places.
One of our referees Rob Brown recently bumped into Oriam player Ewan at Madrid Airport, shortly after both had attended an NFL match. The two share a club bond and passion for the Washington Redskins, discovering a connection formed first through walking football and strengthened by sport across the world.
Moments like this show the true reach of our community — global in its impact, yet deeply personal in its friendships. ❤️🌍
Another Week, Another Celebration of What Matters Most ❤️⚽
From fundraising milestones and fun-filled theme days to tournament success and international surprises, this week once again highlights the power of walking football to bring people together.
Whether competing, supporting charities, or simply sharing a moment with a friend, each story reflects the heart of our sport — joy, inclusion, friendship, and community.
