WFS O65’s East Premiership - Alloa Athletic Champions!

It was a fantastic end to the WFS East Premiership season today at Oriam National Performance Centre, where Alloa Athletic were crowned champions after a truly remarkable campaign.

Alloa have been outstanding throughout the season, going unbeaten on their way to lifting the title. They were pushed all the way by runners-up Heart of Midlothian, who also went unbeaten, but one extra draw meant it was Alloa who finished top to become deserving champions. Both sides will represent the East at the Champions League event, along with North Lanarkshire Council, who also enjoyed a strong season.

The champions were presented with their trophy by former Hearts captain and Scotland internationalist Christophe Berra, and we extend our sincere thanks to Christophe for his time and support at today’s event.

We would also like to thank all clubs, players, referees, and regional representatives for their fantastic commitment and contribution throughout the season. It’s been a brilliant year of football in the East — congratulations to Alloa Athletic and well done to everyone involved!

🌍 World Mental Health Day 💚

🌍 World Mental Health Day 💚
Today we celebrate the power of connection, movement, and community.

Walking Football isn’t just about the game — it’s about friendship, belonging, and wellbeing. Every pass, every laugh, every shared moment helps break isolation, boost confidence, and strengthen minds as well as bodies.

On this World Mental Health Day, let’s remember to look out for one another — reach out to someone at your club or session, have a chat, and check that they’re OK. A simple conversation can make all the difference. 💚

Sometimes the best way to support mental health starts with something simple — a walk, a chat, and a ball at your feet. ⚽💚

Scottish Women’s Football and Walking Football Scotland collaboration announced with new £5,000 fund

Scottish Women’s Football and Walking Football Scotland are delighted to announce a new collaboration to encourage more women to stay active and involved in football into later life, including a new £5,000 fund to help clubs establish new women’s Walking Football groups.

With many women’s teams already developing recreational and walking football initiatives, the new agreement will see SWF support and promote women’s Walking Football events. This collaboration is further strengthened by SWF Chair Vivienne MacLaren, who recently joined our Board of Trustees.

The announcement marks the commitment of both organisations to the theme of this year’s annual Women and Girls in Sport Week: ‘Celebrating being active’.

Commenting, SWF Chair and WFS trustee Vivienne Maclaren said: “Walking Football can be an amazing experience for women, empowering them to get active and meet new people, and I know there are women taking part in Walking Football Scotland festivals and competitions from Annan to Aberdeen. I spotted quite a few players who have retired from SWF teams involved when I attended the Cup finals in June, so I know it can get competitive too.

“Scottish Women’s Football are proud to mark Women and Girls in Sport Week by committing to support WFS’s endeavours going forward, and I am delighted to accept the position on the Board of Trustees.”

WFS Trustee Matt Ramsay said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Scottish Women’s Football to help grow and support the women’s game here in Scotland.

“Walking Football Scotland is fully committed to creating a clear pathway for women to stay in the game, ensuring they can keep playing at every stage of life. Just as importantly, this partnership is about raising participation levels across the country and encouraging more women to get involved, so they can reap the many physical, social and mental health benefits of walking football.

“To back this commitment, we have ringfenced £5,000 to launch a new funding opportunity, offering up to £500 to help new women’s groups get started, and that fund is now live! Walking Football Scotland is proud to play our part in helping the women’s game thrive and inspire future generations.”

For any club wishing to apply for funding to start their own new walking football group - you can apply here.

WFS O50's West Leagues - Pollok Utd, Glenafton Athletic & WEBATA - Champions!

It was a thrilling conclusion to the season at Ravenscraig as the WFS Over 50’s West leagues wrapped up their final league day in dramatic fashion.

In the Premiership, Pollok Utd were crowned champions after a highly competitive day that saw every team at the top drop points. The title was ultimately decided in the final match, where Pollok scored a late equaliser against Saint Anthony’s – Whites, who finish as worthy runners-up. Braehead FC secured a strong third-place finish to round off an excellent campaign.

The Championship was equally tense, with Dumbarton FC and Glenafton Athletic starting the day level on points at the top. After a hard-fought set of fixtures, it was Glenafton Athletic who emerged victorious to claim the title on goal difference.

In the Conference, congratulations go to newcomers WEBATA, who impressed throughout the season and were deservedly crowned champions in their debut campaign.

A huge thank you goes to all players, clubs, regional representatives, and referees for contributing to an exciting and competitive day of football at Ravenscraig.

WFS O50's East Premiership, Championship & Conference

It’s all to play for on Sunday 12th October, as the WFS Over 50’s East Premiership, Championship and Conference reach their final league fixtures at the RPC, Dundee. With titles on the line across all three divisions, we can expect drama, passion, and some fantastic football.

In the Premiership, Forfar WF currently lead the way, but their run-in won’t be easy. They face 3rd, 4th and 5th placed sides, and with only six points separating them from the chasing pack, Arbroath in 2nd will be ready to capitalise on any slip-ups.

The Championship is on a knife-edge, with Linlithgow Rose CFC and Hibernian CF joint top on points. Linlithgow are well ahead on goal difference, but with the two sides facing each other on the final day, it’s set up perfectly for a winner-takes-all showdown or could Tayport - Reds sneak in and take advantage with a game in hand also.

In the Conference, the promotion race is just as tense. Only three points separate the top four clubs, with Fife Wanderers narrowly leading the way. Their clash against 2nd-placed Saints in the Community could prove decisive in determining who lifts the title.

We wish all teams the very best of luck for what promises to be an exciting and action-packed Trophy Day.

Club News - October

We’ve had a busy few weeks packed with football, friendship, and fundraising. From charity festivals and walking football days to Parkinson’s matches and over 60s tournaments, our clubs and community partners have shown once again that football is about so much more than the game itself. Here’s a look at some of the highlights.

Fundraising Month Kicks Off with Alloa Charity Festival

October is fundraising month for our charity partners Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS), and what a brilliant start we’ve had!

Today saw the annual Alloa Athletic Walking Football Charity Event, with 8 teams taking part: Alloa Gold, Alloa Black, Stenhousemuir, Falkirk Foundation, Fife Wanderers, North Lanarkshire Council, Linlithgow, and Hearts.

Alloa Gold lifted the Festival Trophy, while Fife claimed the Plate. But the biggest winner of the day was CHSS, with an incredible £1,041 raised.

A special mention goes to Ian Stag, who personally raised an amazing £350 through his quiz sheets and also to Richard Sinclair for all his organisation.

Huge thanks to all the teams, supporters, and volunteers who made the day such a success.

Parkinson’s Friendships

The Glasgow Life Parkinson’s team had the pleasure of welcoming the North West Warriors from Lancaster up to Glasgow for a series of friendly matches, similar to their recent visit to Edinburgh.

A Glasgow Life side and the Celtic FC Foundation team took on the Warriors, as they continue their build-up towards the People’s Ford Festival in November.

An afternoon filled with friendship, football and camaraderie – the perfect reminder of the power of the game to bring people together.

Annan Athletic - More Than Football

Annan Athletic’s latest Walking Football Game Day was once again a huge success enjoyed by all, and the fun carried on afterwards in the clubhouse with pizza and a quiz!

It was another brilliant reminder that Annan Athletic is about much more than football – it’s about community, friendship, and shared good times. Thanks to everyone who came organised and made it such a great day!

Craig Molloy Coaching Tournament – Over 60s Walking Football Festival

On Friday Craig Molloy Coaching were delighted to host their very first Over 60s Walking Football Festival at Battery Park.

More than 50 walking legends took part, representing Drumchapel, Glasgow Life, Largs, Morton, John Sutton, and of course, their own players including our new trustee Dave MacKinnon. After a great morning of football, everyone headed back to the Clyde Suite for some well-deserved lunch.

Well done to Glasgow Life, who came out on top by defeating a strong Morton team on penalties after a thrilling 1–1 draw in the final.

It was a brilliant day that brought together walking footballers from across the West of Scotland. Huge thanks to all the organisers, and to the Trustees at the Inverclyde Windfarm Community Fund for making the event possible.

A fantastic mix of fundraising, competition, and community spirit has made the last few weeks one to remember. From raising vital funds for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, to welcoming visiting teams, and celebrating walking football at every level, it’s clear the game continues to inspire and unite people of all ages.

Here’s to even more football, friendship, and togetherness in the weeks ahead

WFS O65's West Premiership - Pollok Utd Champions!

The curtain came down on the WFS O65’s West Premiership with a day of excitement and celebration at Toryglen Regional Football Centre and it was Pollok Utd who stole the show, being crowned champions in style.

Pollok were unstoppable across the campaign, winning all 11 of their matches, a perfect record that underlined their dominance. A victory in their opening match of the final day against Carrick WFC was enough to seal the league title, leaving Carrick with a nervous wait to see if they could hold on to their Champions League spot.

It was Ayr United who finished runners up in second place and with Giffnock Seniors drawing both of their fixtures, Carrick WFC held firm to claim that all-important third spot and join the West’s representatives in the end of season, Champions League event.

The day ended in fitting fashion with the trophy presentation, conducted by our WFS Patron Gordon Smith, to whom we are once again deeply indebted for his continued support.

A huge thank you goes to all players, clubs, and referees for making the final day – and the season as a whole – such a memorable one.

WFS O65's East Premiership

The stage is set for a thrilling finale in the WFS O65’s East Premiership as the league concludes next Friday, 10th October, at the Oriam National Performance Centre – marking our first league trophy day in the east of the country for 2025.

Alloa Athletic currently lead the way, sitting five points clear at the top with just two games remaining. They will be looking to hold their nerve and secure the title, but both North Lanarkshire Council and Hearts remain in the hunt, hoping for a late twist in the race.

The drama is heightened further as second and third place go head-to-head, meaning valuable points will be dropped somewhere in the chasing pack. That could leave Alloa with one hand on the trophy – but as we know in football, nothing is certain until the final whistle.

It promises to be a fantastic day of football and celebration as the East Premiership crowns its first champions of 2025 and we also look to see who finishes in the top 3 securing Champions League football.

We wish all teams the very best of luck for the final day!

Player of the Month (September) - Fiona Cavana & Raymond Heaney

---

We’re keeping up with our monthly spotlight on Walking Football Scotland Players of the Month in partnership with Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland.

For September the Walking Football Scotland Women’s Player of the Month is Fiona Cavana! Fiona, 43, plays with Linlithgow Rose CFC.

Walking Football Scotland Men’s Player of the Month is Raymond Heaney! Raymond, 63, plays with Giffnock SC - Auld Timers

Congratulations Fiona and Raymond! They shared their reflections on what walking football means to them.

Why did you get involved in walking football?

Fiona: “Some of my friends who I had previously played 11 a side with asked me to come along and give it a go. They were short of a goalkeeper so I agreed to help out. Couple of years later and I am now training and playing walking football regularly as an outfield player and captain of Linlithgow Rose.”

Raymond: “I was invited to attend the inaugural GSC walking football match to help make up the numbers and with it being football I went along and I have been playing the game ever since”

What positive impact has walking football had on your life?

Fiona: “The players at Linlithgow Rose have been very welcoming to me right from the start. They are a great bunch of Ladies and we have a great laugh together. I recently lost my mum and being able to walk onto the pitch and forget about what is going on in my life and just play football has really helped me through this difficult time.”

Raymond: “Walking football has provided a wonderful opportunity to remain fit and active and reconnect with some old friends and to meet new people, it also continues to help provide a fun opportunity to continue playing the game.”

What would you say to encourage others to come along?

Fiona: “I was sceptical of walking football at first it took a few attempts for me to be persuaded to come along as I was still regularly playing 5 a side and recreational football so thought it wouldn’t be competitive enough for me but I was very wrong. I love coming along and representing my club and my regional team on the pitch and I have also made some great friends doing it. I would encourage anyone thinking about it to come along and give it a try. You won’t regret it.”

Raymond: “If you are looking to improve your touch or just to start playing again and improve your fitness, or if you are looking to meet many like-minded people or just looking for something new to try this - it’s a great opportunity.”

WFS O50's West Premiership ,Championship & Conference

The curtain comes down on the WFS O50’s West of Scotland Premiership, Championship and Conference leagues this Sunday at Ravenscraig, and all three divisions promise high drama as titles, promotion places, and Champions League spots go on the line.

In the Premiership, the title race could not be tighter. Pollok Utd currently lead the way, but with only five points separating the top six teams, it’s all to play for. Every point – and every goal – could prove decisive in the battle not only for the title but also for those all-important three Champions League spots. Expect nerves, intensity, and plenty of twists as the top clubs fight it out.

The Championship is equally thrilling, with the race for promotion and the title finely balanced. Glenafton Athletic sit top, ahead of Dumbarton FC only on goal difference, with both sides locked on the same points. On paper, Glenafton appear to have the tougher test, facing both the third- and fourth-placed sides, but on the final day anything can happen – and every goal could swing the balance.

Meanwhile, in the Conference League, newcomers WEBATA look set to crown a superb debut season. Sitting seven points clear at the top, they could all but seal the trophy with just one more win. However, Motherwell Phoenix and Duncanrig EK will be out to spoil the party, hoping to delay the inevitable. Still, WEBATA have one hand firmly on the silverware already.

With so much at stake across all three leagues, Sunday promises to deliver a memorable finale to the season.

We wish all teams the very best for the final showdown!

Vivienne led the transformation of the domestic game as a brand, a commercial entity and as an environment in which girls and women can thrive in Scotland.  

She led the huge growth of the Scottish Women’s Premier League and signed the first broadcast deal for women’s football in Scotland in 2018, shortly after securing the first ever league sponsor.

This was also led by Vivienne and SWF.

Walking Football Scotland is proud to welcome Vivienne MacLaren to the Board and looks forward to the significant contribution she will make.

WFS O65's West Premiership

The curtain comes down on the WFS O65’s West Premiership next Friday 3rd October at Toryglen Regional Football Centre, and the stage is set for a dramatic finale.

Pollok Utd sit proudly at the top of the table, unbeaten and five points clear of their nearest challengers, Ayr United and Carrick WFC. With both of those teams still to play on the final day, Pollok face a huge test in defending their lead against the very sides chasing them.

While Carrick cannot mathematically win the league having played a game more than their rivals, they could still have a big say in the outcome. Could Pollok, after leading all season and remaining unbeaten, stumble at the final hurdle with back-to-back defeats against second and third place? If so, the door would be wide open for Ayr United to snatch the title in dramatic fashion if they manage to win their 2 games.

Whatever happens at the top, Pollok Utd have already secured their Champions League spot, but there’s still plenty to play for further down the table. With Giffnock North and Pollok Thistle breathing down the necks of the top three, the battle for final placings promises just as much excitement.

It all comes down to next Friday – an unmissable day of football to close out a thrilling season.

WFS Statement - 'International Walking Football'

Walking Football Scotland, in partnership with our governing body, the Scottish FA, and as affiliated members of Scottish Para Football, wish to clarify our collective position regarding so-called ‘international’ walking football.

We are proud of the significant progress walking football is making in improving health, wellbeing, and social connection across Scotland. Together with our partners, we remain firmly committed to supporting its continued growth and success. However, strong governance is essential to protecting the integrity of the game.

At present, walking football does not yet meet the governance and structural requirements necessary for an official national representative squad. For this reason, any team claiming to represent ‘Scotland’ — or using similar names that imply national representative status — will not be recognised by Walking Football Scotland, the Scottish FA, or Scottish Para Football. Similarly, events described as ‘international’ walking football will not be formally recognised.

We look forward to working closely with our partners and the walking football community to strengthen structures, raise standards, and ensure the game continues to flourish in the years ahead.

Please see below letter from Para Football CEO Ashley Pedersen.

Club News

Walking football continues to bring joy, friendships, and unforgettable moments across Scotland. From milestone birthdays to heartfelt tributes, here are some of the latest highlights:

Birthday Celebrations in Largs!

It was a special day in Largs as the club’s oldest player, Jimmy Brown, celebrated his 87th birthday in style – by playing a full match of walking football.

Jimmy’s testimonial took place on the artificial grass pitch at Inverclyde Sports Centre, with his team securing a narrow 4-3 victory. In recent years, Jimmy has often taken the whistle, refereeing the club’s twice-weekly sessions that bring together players mainly in their 60s and 70s.

His footballing story stretches back decades – Jimmy was part of the 1969 World Cup squad for Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and also played senior football in South Africa.

The birthday celebrations didn’t stop there, with the club also enjoying their annual Rothesay trip and marking the milestone with a big birthday cake in the sports centre café. A day to remember for a true walking football legend!

Friendly Smiles All Round

The spirit of walking football was on full display as the Falkirk Foundation welcomed Stirling Albion for a friendly match bursting with energy, laughter, and good sportsmanship.

While both teams showed skill and determination on the pitch, the real highlight was the friendships and camaraderie shared throughout. Players encouraged one another and enjoyed a competitive yet light-hearted game that reflected the very best of the sport.

After the final whistle, handshakes, smiles, and warm conversations continued off the pitch, proving once again that walking football is about so much more than goals – it’s about connection, community, and fun.

Hibs Parkinson’s Group Host North West Warriors

The Hibs Walking Football Parkinson’s group were delighted to welcome the North West Warriors from England for a friendly match.

Both sides thoroughly enjoyed the chance to play against one another, but just as importantly, they also embraced the many social benefits these cross-border experiences bring. Football, friendship, and community spirit once again proved to be a winning combination.

Festival Football in Annan

Down in Annan, another brilliant walking football festival was held, welcoming teams from Gretna, Carlisle, and Workington.

The event was also a chance to pay tribute to Alan Little, a stalwart of the game who sadly lost his battle with Parkinson’s. Alan’s wife and family were present to receive a special gift in his memory, ensuring his contribution to the walking football community will never be forgotten.

Aberdeen Strikers Try Something New

The Aberdeen Strikers had a different experience at a recent session, taking part in a muscle-strengthening circuit before their usual walking football games.

With expert guidance from Ashley Armstrong, players enjoyed the chance to add something new to their routine, improving strength and fitness while still keeping the focus on fun and participation. A brilliant example of how walking football can be adapted to support overall health and wellbeing.

Stirling Albion Parkinson’s Group Growing Strong

The Stirling Albion Parkinson’s group were delighted to receive their latest t-shirts from Parkinson’s UK, giving the players a fresh new look as they continue to grow in numbers.

It’s been fantastic to see not only the sessions themselves flourish, but also the support that carers and family members receive as part of the wider group. A shining example of football creating positive impact both on and off the pitch.

Remembering Robert Mullen

GSC Auldhouse hosted a special walking football tournament in memory of Robert Mullen (31 March 1970 – 8 November 2024), a much-loved former player who sadly passed away last year.

Friends, teammates, and members of the wider GSC Family came together on the pitch to celebrate Robert’s life, his love of the game, and the friendships he built through walking football.

It was a day of football, reflection, and togetherness – a fitting tribute to a man who will always be Gone But Not Forgotten.

Gretna Lift the Cumberland Marsh & Quay Cup

Congratulations to Gretna Walking Football, who enjoyed a brilliant day south of the border by winning the Cumberland Marsh & Quay Cup.

After some competitive matches throughout the tournament, Gretna faced Workington in the final and produced a superb performance to take home the silverware.

A fantastic achievement for the team, and another proud moment for Scottish walking football on the wider stage. Well done, Gretna!

Morton Shine at the Armando Football Festival

The Morton walking footballers from the Inverkip Hub took part in the inaugural Armando Football Festival, marking a fantastic occasion both on and off the pitch.

With great play and teamwork from all the players, excellent refereeing, and superb organisation by Finlay, the day was a resounding success. Even better, the festival raised over £500 for the British Heart Foundation and Heart Research UK.

A brilliant first edition of what promises to be a special annual event. Well done to everyone involved!

Success in Europe 🇵🇹🏆

Some of our Scottish clubs have been flying the flag abroad with great success at the Algarve Walking Football Tournament at the Browns Sports Resort in Vilamoura.

• Ayr United O60s were crowned Algarve Cup winners after a fantastic run of results.

• Forfar Walking Football scooped the O50’s Algarve Cup, showing their quality on the international stage.

• And adding to the celebrations, Ayr Utd O50’s also picked up the much-loved Wooden Prize, ensuring plenty of smiles all round.

A brilliant achievement for all involved!

Carnoustie Panmure Welcome Stenhousemuir

Carnoustie Panmure enjoyed a fantastic day of walking football and friendship as they welcomed a return visit from Stenhousemuir and the Sunday Sesh lads.

The afternoon kicked off with mixed teams in the first half and then club sides in the second, all played in the true ethos of walking football – with no scores kept.

After the games, everyone came together for some well-earned hospitality – with a Killie pie and homemade treats taking centre stage!

Tay City Strollers Cup Success

The inaugural Tay City Strollers Walking Football Cup was held in Perth, bringing together men’s O50s and women’s O40s competitions for a fantastic day of football.

It was a brilliant occasion, with Linlithgow Rose coming out on top in both the men’s and women’s events to lift the trophies.

What made the day even more special was the chance for the men’s and women’s teams to play one after the other, allowing them to support each other from the sidelines.

A big shout out goes to all the participating teams – St James, Midlothian, Jeanfield Swifts, Stenhousemuir, Oriam, Crieff, Dunfermline Athletic, Scone,  Luncarty and of course, the hosts Tay City Strollers – for making it such a memorable tournament.

The day highlighted exactly what makes walking football so great: camaraderie and community spirit. Well done to everyone involved!

Looking Ahead

From birthdays and festivals to memorials, European triumphs, and friendly afternoons filled with pies and sunshine, these stories show that walking football is about so much more than the game itself. It builds friendships, connections, and communities that last a lifetime.

Walking football in Scotland is thriving – and long may it continue to inspire, include, and bring people together through the beautiful game. ⚽👏
