Welcome to East Algarve Walking Football (EAWF), the founding part of EA Football Club in the eastern Algarve region of southern Portugal. Walking football is a slow-paced version of the beautiful game aimed at the “more mature” person (with no upper age limit).
EAWF offers a warm welcome to new members, regardless of ability and experience, to play and socialise in one of our weekly games or more competitively in tournament events. Anyone is welcome to any of the sessions we run; all the information you will need is on the website.
While often viewed as a men’s game, it is emphasised that women are welcome to join, train and play for the teams. We have a women’s walking football section and you can check out our women’s page at https://eawwf.eastalgarvewf.com for more information and check out our women’s sessions here: https://eawwf.eastalgarvewf.com/sessions.
Walking football is a minimal-contact sport, and anything other than brisk walking is penalised. This makes it ideal for the “older” generation, with little risk of injury.
It was introduced to the Algarve over 10 years ago, and we now have various teams and weekly sessions here in the East Algarve, with the occasional friendly tournament involving teams from both the Algarve and abroad.
In addition, if you would like to bring your team over to the sunny Algarve for an informal get together, including a few matches, a warm welcome, and a beer or two, please contact us.
We also have “normal” running football teams (East Algarve FC) that are available for friendly matches involving any age group from 35 years old upwards; this can be combined with walking football matches
We thank our partners for their continued support of walking football here in the Eastern Algarve
