Walking Football

Established in 2014, Rochdale AFC Walking Football has grown into a thriving community, offering opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the game in an inclusive, supportive environment.

Our training sessions take place at venues across the borough, with teams competing regularly in the Greater Manchester Walking Football League. Today, we proudly field seven teams, making walking football one of Rochdale AFC Community Trust’s most successful and well-established programmes.

Beyond the pitch, we’re committed to creating a strong sense of community. Excellent training attendance, competitive fixtures, and a busy social calendar help members build lasting friendships while improving their physical health and wellbeing. Throughout the year, we organise quiz nights, visits to fellow clubs, fundraising events, presentation evenings, and memorial tournaments, ensuring everyone stays connected and feels part of the Rochdale AFC Walking Football family.
