Why the Lionesses’ Win is a Golden Chance for Women’s Walking Football

Alright, I don’t know about you, but I’m still buzzing after watching the England Lionesses lift that 2025 Euros trophy! What a team, what a performance, what a moment for women’s football.
Now here’s the thing — moments like this don’t come around every day. They get people talking, dreaming, and (most importantly) lacing up their boots. And for us in the walking football world, it’s a golden opportunity we can’t afford to miss.

From European Glory to Local Glory

The Lionesses have shown the whole country that football is for everyone — and that includes women who want to play at their own pace.
Not everyone’s chasing a Wembley final (although if you are, I’ll happily cheer you on), but many women out there are now thinking: “I’d love to give football a try.”
That’s where we step in.

Why Women’s Walking Football Matters

Walking football is perfect for women of all ages, all abilities, and all fitness levels.

And let’s be honest — there’s something brilliant about seeing a pitch full of women, boots on, laughing and playing the beautiful game at a slower pace.

Clubs, This is Your Moment

If you run a walking football club, now’s the time to:

At Lewes, We’re Ready

Here at Lewes Mixed Walking Football Club, we’re already seeing more women at sessions — and it’s brilliant.
We’ve got our women-only Monday evenings at 6pm, plus mixed sessions for anyone who fancies them. And every new face is greeted like an old friend

Your Invitation

So, to every woman inspired by the Lionesses — whether you’re 30 or 70 — there’s a place for you in walking football.
Come along, bring a mate, bring your old football boots (or borrow ours), and see what all the fuss is about.

The Lionesses have lit the fire — now let’s keep it burning in every town, park, and sports hall across the country.

If you’re old enough, you’re good enough.
Sign up here — we’ll see you on the pitch.

3 Touch or Not???

Image
When we first set up our walking-football club, I’ll admit I wasn’t a fan of the idea of “three-touch only.” I’d played under that rule at another club and all I remembered was arguments, stoppages, and more moaning than moving. So when a few of our lads and lasses suggested we give it a go, I braced myself for trouble. But here’s the twist — it worked. And not only did it work, it’s changed our sessions for the better. At first, we agreed to leave it to the facilitator’s choice: some days three-touch, some days open play. To my surprise, three-touch bedded in nicely. No endless debates, no chaos. Instead, it became a real leveler. The “Maradonas” — the players who like to walk past half a team on their own — suddenly had to rethink their game. The focus shifted to passing, moving, and triangles , and that’s when the football started to sing. Even better, it’s given the newer and less confident players more chances to get on the ball. Nobody’s hogging it, nobody’s left out, and ever...

Birthday Boots: Too Flash for Walking Football?

Birthday Boots: Too Flash for Walking Football? This year, I treated myself for my birthday. Not a pint, not a curry, not even a weekend away – but a pair of shiny blue Adidas Predator 3G boots . Now, anyone who knows me knows I’m usually more of a “black boots, no fuss” kind of bloke. But something about these Predators caught my eye. Bright, bold, and full of that football swagger. I thought, “Why not? You only turn this age once!” I’ve worn them to running football , and I’ve got to say – they feel incredible. Comfortable, supportive, and if I’m honest, I swear they’ve added a little extra spring to my game. Maybe it’s in my head, but I’ll take it! Here’s the thing though… I haven’t worn them to walking football yet . And I’ll tell you why. Part of me worries they might look a bit too flash. A bit “full kit”, if you know what I mean. Walking football is all about fun, inclusion, and not taking yourself too seriously – would turning up in a pair of bright blue Predators be… too much?...
