Due to the increased numbers now taking part at both Olhao and Tavira, we have decided to reduce the normal session fees for May. Following on from the free sessions in April, all sessions at Tavira and Olhao will now only be €2 (instead of the usual €3) for the month of May.
Thank you for your continued support
Please note, Monday’s session at Tavira will now take place on Tuesday 2nd May due to the bank holiday. Same time as normal….
Further to recent discussions and developments within the walking football world, and following discussion with Chris Wright and a number players involved in running the club, and with a view to providing some clarification and consistency, please find below details of the current agreed ‘holding’ position.

With the tournament now only a few weeks away, we are extending the session in Tavira on Monday Feb 13th to get all of the players together to discuss rules, tactics, positions etc. The session will take place as normal from 9.30 am to 11.30 am, and then we have booked the pitch for an extra hour until 12.30. Can we ask all 30 players involved to try and make it along (at least for the last hour). Thank you!
We will be entering 3 teams into the tournament in Albufeira in March.
It is a 7-a-side one day tournament, no running and 3 touches. We are awaiting more comprehensive rules and details at this time.
We have at this stage selected 3 teams of 10 with 3 subs. The selections and final numbers may well change as we draw closer to the date. Injuries being the usual reason. The club will pay all players entry fees.The club will provide shirts and if we can suggest you could wear white shorts and white socks that would be great.
Andy Smith has circulated a list of hotels for those who wish to stay in Albufeira, I know a number of people are staying the night after the tournament. Always a decent jolly I might add.
Each team will have a captain who be responsible for co-ordinating their respective team including practice, selection of positions, familiarity with the rules, tactics and team selection and substitutions on the day.
We would like to thank the other members of the selection group for giving their free time to ensuring that we are well represented once again at an Algarvian Tournament, particularly as the club is defending this trophy.
Please find below the selected teams; please note anyone else wanting to play but not registered to play will be on a wait & see basis.
