Walking football at FC Porto from September: sign-ups open | OneFootball

“Those who run for pleasure don’t get tired,” and those who walk for pleasure always go far. It is with this motto that FC Porto presents Walking Football, a new initiative that reinforces its commitment to inclusive sport and the well-being of the community.

Introduced in Portugal by the Portuguese Football Federation, with the Porto Football Association as the pioneering body, this program was designed for men and women between 50 and 95 years of age, allowing them to play football in an adapted, safe, and accessible way. In addition to encouraging physical activity, Walking Football promotes social interaction, health, and the maintenance of an active life, regardless of age.

Walking Football will become part of the club’s regular range of activities starting in September, in the 2026/2027 season, with weekly sessions at the following times:

· Schedule 1: Mondays, from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm and Thursdays, from 8:50 pm to 9:50 pm· Schedule 2: Mondays, from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm and Thursdays, from 9:50 pm to 10:50 pm

The schedule may be changed if competitions or other activities are scheduled at New Balance Park.

With this initiative, FC Porto reinforces its commitment to promoting active lifestyles at all ages, creating opportunities for sport to continue being a source of health, energy, and social connection throughout life.

The program includes scientific and specialized support in the areas of Football, Sports Sciences, and Health.

The annual registration fee, which includes personal accident insurance for the entire 2026–27 season (10 months), costs 60 euros, while the monthly fee is 25 euros. If registration is completed by September 15, participants benefit from a 10% discount on the registration fee.

Places are limited, so those interested should apply as early as possible by filling in the form available on the FC Porto Portal: Walking Football – 2026/27 Pre-registration Form
