Exercise doesnā€™t have to feel like a workout. It can look like walking, passing, moving and connecting. āš½šŸ’™

Regular physical activity can help support strength, fitness, balance, mobility and overall wellbeing. And walking football is one way to get moving while enjoying the energy and connection of a community.

MEET YOUR HOSTS! āš½šŸ†

Ready to WALK?
Ready to PLAY?
Ready to MOVE FOR PARKINSONā€™S? šŸ’™

Weā€™re back! šŸŽ‰

For the 4th year, Parkinsonā€™s Africa and Adewunmi Desalu Parkinsonā€™s Foundation (ADPF) are teaming up once again to bring the Parkinsonā€™s community, and everyone who wants to move for Parkinsonā€™s, together on the pitch.

As always, weā€™re excited because WFPD is about more than football.

Itā€™s about movement. Connection. Laughter. Community.

Because Parkinsonā€™s may be part of the journey, but it doesnā€™t have to stop us from living, connecting and enjoying the things we love.
And this year, weā€™re moving for Parkinsonā€™s, together.

So come ready to walk, play, cheer, connect and make memories! šŸ™ŒšŸ½āš½

āš½ One year ago, we stepped onto the pitch. What happened next was bigger than football.

The cheers. The goals. The laughter. The friendships. The connection. ā¤ļø

WFPD 2025 brought together people living with Parkinsonā€™s, families, care partners, healthcare professionals, football teams, volunteers and supporters, united by football and community.

Now, the whistle is about to blow again! šŸ”„āš½

āš½ You might ask: what exactly is Walking Football?

Well, itā€™s football you know, just played at a different pace.

No running. Still passing. Still scoring. Still competing. And most importantly, still creating opportunities for movement, connection and community.

For people affected by Parkinsonā€™s, walking football offers another way to stay involved and keep playing.

And weā€™re bringing that spirit to the pitch once again. šŸ’™āš½
