About the club
Discover Birmingham Walking Football Club.
Where better to make your walking football debut than at the UK’s largest walking football club?
Founded in 2014, Birmingham Walking Football Club has grown to offer dozens of sessions across multiple age groups and abilities, all hosted at one of two brilliantly resourced locations in the West Midlands.
Beechcroft Tennis & Multi Sport Club is full of first-class facilities to allow games to be played with maximum enjoyment and safety.
Birmingham Walking FC’s other location, the brand new Solihull Football Centre, is home to the world’s only purpose built walking football pitch, adorned with cutting edge 4G turf.
The club hosts dedicated weekly sessions for those aged from 40-70 plus, as well as specialised ladies-only and less mobile events.
Birmingham Walking Football Club also competes in organised tournaments and leagues. Weekly sessions are held in a non-competitive spirit, however almost every level of the club provides opportunities for players to play competitively if they wish.
In October 2017, the club was crowned WFA Over 50s National Cup winners and in September, was featured heavily in a Sky Sports documentary focusing on the sport.
In addition, BWFC chairman Paul Murtagh, was named as first ever manager of the England Over 50s walking football team.
