Walking Football - Unification of Laws of The Game Consultation

Walking Football - Unification of Laws of The Game Consultation

As Walking Football continues to grow, The FA and the Walking Football Association have been engaged in positive discussions to explore ways that harness the collective passion for Walking Football and allows the game to truly thrive.

Our shared ambition is to establish a unified approach that enables Walking Football to reach its full potential, in collaboration with key stakeholders across the game. As part of this, we are reviewing the current Laws of the Game, and the possibility of developing a single, unifying set of laws to support future growth.

To inform this work, we have created a short survey to gather views from everyone involved the game. We want to understand your thoughts on the potential unification of the Laws of the Game, and gather further information on what should be taken into account as we continue this process.

Take part in the survey here.

  • Way WAY overdue and Chesterfield Senior Spireites and Chesterfield FC Community Trust would relish to have an input. But here's something that the FA and WFA should be aware of; our president and Walking football creator, John Croot attended a UEFA meeting in Milan in the Autumn of 2024 for the introduction of UEFA's walking football toolkit. The toolkit is in 2 parts, Recreational play and Competitive play, and are based around the original 'Chesterfield Rules'. So, to a certain degree the the basis of unification has already gone up a level in the food chain! Maybe a 3-way meeting involving the FA, the WFA and UEFA would be a better option.
