Walking Football returns to Limerick in 2026!

The Republic of Ireland Walking Football Association (ROIWFA) will be organising the 2nd Festival of Walking Football out of the University of Limerick on the 4th &amp; 5th July 2026.

Bigger &amp; better than the one-day 2024 event, this year the University of Limerick will host a two-day event, with an almost 500 players and officials expected to take part!

The event will see 23 Provincial teams compete, with a further 17 UK regional teams invited to attend, made up of the Irish diaspora abroad. The categories will include women of 40+ years of age (7 teams), and men in the age categories 50+, 60+, 65+ and 70+.

Football will take place on the GAA 3G pitch next to the Pavilion bar &amp; restaurant on the North Campus, and spectators can attend free of charge to take in the action between about 10:00 hours and 16:00 hours each day.

Let's wish for kind weather and a plentiful supply of Guinness to keep the old joints well-oiled!&nbsp;

<i>This years event has been kindly supported by the All-Island Civic Society Fund, an arm of the Department of Foreign Affairs &amp; Trade.</i>
