Invite to International Event Update

Walking Football Scotland (WFS) is delighted to confirm that, following careful and thorough discussions, we have accepted the invitation to participate in the Walking Football Euro Cup in Nyon, Switzerland on 25th June.

This exciting opportunity has been made possible in partnership with the Scottish Football Association and Scottish Para-Football, and we are proud to be part of this event, which is being fully organised by UEFA.

Importantly, this represents a significant milestone for the game in Scotland and a first step towards officially recognised international Walking Football. It is an exciting moment for all involved and reflects the continued growth and development of the sport.

We are also incredibly excited to join seven other FA-approved national teams, coming together for what promises to be a true festival celebration of Walking Football on the European stage.

Due to the tight timescales involved, the player selection process is necessarily condensed. We are extremely grateful to our Regional Managers across the country for their swift support in submitting nominations from their WFS regional squads for consideration.

A squad of nine players – comprising a minimum of four men, four women, and a goalkeeper – will be selected. The chosen players will have the honour of representing Scotland for the first time at an international Walking Football event. The final squad announcement will be made in due course.

We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to UEFA, the Scottish Football Association, and Scottish Para-Football for their continued support in helping make this opportunity possible.

Further updates will follow soon.
