In its second year, The FA Walking Football Cup has grown: 37 local qualifying competitions saw over 400 teams take part, showcasing not only the growing popularity of the game but also the passion and dedication that make walking football so special. On Sunday 2nd November, we welcomed 18 teams representing 15 County FAs to the national finals at St Georges Park, home of the England teams.

The event provided a fitting stage for the culmination of months of hard-fought local and regional competition. Players from every corner of the country came together in a fantastic display of teamwork, skill and passion, embodying the inclusive spirit that defines walking football.

Congratulations to the winning teams:

• Bolton Arena, Female 40+
• Soca Seniors WF, Mixed 50+,
• Bolton Arena Vets, Mixed 60+,
