Due to the holiday season in Tavira, we may have to change venue for the Tuesday walking football session to the velodrome (Estádio Municipal de Tavira) at the bottom of the hill. Unfortunately we don’t know definitively until the day itself, but it is likely to be for the remainder of July and all of August. It does apply to tomorrow (July 12th).
We are holding a fun Padel tennis tournament on Sunday 31st July at Pedras da Rainha, Cabanas.
Friday July 1st 2022 saw East Algarve Walking Football (EAWF) take the 2-hour trip east across the border to Seville to play a mini-tournament with our friends from Real Betis.
Due to the very small numbers attending on a Monday morning in Olhão it has been decided that this session will be suspended over the summer period.
The session on Wednesday will continue and will be open to anyone over 50 (with visiting friends and relatives etc. able to join in regardless of age).
We hope to restart Monday sessions in September if we can get more local interest to boost the numbers.
Due to various people not being available, the non-contact session in Olhão on Friday May 27th has been cancelled. We hope to resume on Friday June 3rd.
A shortage of players (Oistein is having a new knee tomorrow, plus several others are back in the UK) and high temperature forecast means we’ve cancelled Friday’s session. The fact it is Friday 13th had no bearing on the decision!
