Jundiaí Aims to Boost Popularity of Walking Football with City Hall Support

Jundiaí, Brazil is set to become a hub for Walking Football, a low-impact version of the sport that’s gaining traction among seniors. The City Hall recently convened with representatives of Walking Football Brazil to strategize the sport’s expansion and maintenance within the city.

Understanding Walking Football

Walking Football is a gentler version of the traditional game, designed for individuals over 50. It reduces the physical strain by prohibiting running, making it an affordable and accessible exercise option for seniors.

Key adaptations include limiting ball touches per player and the maximum height the ball can reach, enhancing safety and ease of play.
