Greater Manchester Walking Football League
The Greater Manchester Walking Football League was launched in November 2016 to provide regular competitive football for the many over 60s walking footballers. The full history of the league 2016-2024 can be read HERE.
We were the first FA affiliated over 60s league in the country and have attracted teams from across the Greater Manchester area, Cheshire, Cumbria, Fylde Coast, Lancashire, North Wales and Yorkshire.
The league has a growing reputation as one of the best in the country, with many teams saying it’s the best organised league they have played in, with excellent referees, a great modern venue and it’s close distance to the motorway network.
The Greater Manchester Walking Football League runs in seasons, Spring and Autumn, with each season consisting of 4 monthly fixture dates. All fixture dates take place on the new 3G facility at Heywood Sports Village, West Starkey Street, Heywood, OL10 4TW.
Further innovation came in the form of an over 65s League, which was introduced in February 2018, where seven teams entered the inaugural division. We started an over 70s League in March 2019, with seven teams competing, the first over 70s FA affiliated league in the country.
A further addition was an over 75s league in the Summer of 2024 where 6 teams competed, again the first over 75s FA affiliated league in the country.
Currently, we have 20 teams in the over 60s league, 19 teams in the over 65s league and 16 teams in the over 70s league.
