The Walking Football Leagues Alliance was formed in 2019. Currently there are 23 member leagues.
The WFLA is a free to join, non-political, independent support network whose aims are to help establish, promote, and support FA affiliated walking football leagues and to encourage the growth of grassroots competitive walking football in safe environments. All WFLA national and local tournaments are all sanctioned by local FA’s, which sit under the rules and regulations of the Football Association.
The WFLA is run by a volunteer Alliance Management Committee drawn from member leagues. Currently the WFLA represents over 450 teams.
In July 2022 The Walking Football Leagues Alliance (WFLA) and England Walking Football Community (EWFC) enter into a Partnership as they have so much in common, have the same principles and desires for the game of walking football.
Both organisations fully support the National Governing Body in England (The FA) and its Laws of the Game.
Neither has any aspiration to be a NGB, and neither wishes to dictate to the world of walking football how things should be done.
WFLA was initially set up by Bill Murney to bring FA Affiliated leagues together as an alliance and to share best practice, to share ideas and principles to ensure that leagues are fun, fair, consistent, and played to the LOTG set by The FA.
