Island set to host first international walking football competition

Chair of IOMWFA speaks about health benefits of being involved in the sport

The Isle of Man Walking Football Association is hosting its first international competition later this month which will see around 200 people visiting the Island from the UK and Ireland.

The chair of the organisation says the sport has exploded across Europe with more than 700 teams being seen in Germany.

The sport is primarily geared towards those over 50s; which it's hoped more people will consider playing socially or competitively.
