Walking Football Australia - Tournaments, Brisbane (2026)

12/01/2026

Huge thanks to everyone for being so proactive and enthusiastic in preparing for the May 2026 World Cup

The photos are fantastic and really capture the energy, intent and positivity within the group. I’ve already heard great feedback from a few people in WA about how well the session went, very impressive stuff.

A big shout-out to Paula for putting together such a strong, well-structured session with a great focus on fitness, movement, passing and communication

Credit also to Sam (away on holidays) and to Mom and Brian for their support on the day, especially Brian while recovering from injury.

Having 21 of the 26 players involved is an outstanding turnout, particularly with work and holidays in the mix, and it’s great to hear how well the session was received by everyone.

The plan to run another session on 8 February, and ideally make these fortnightly if space allows, is exactly the kind of consistency that builds strong squads and real momentum. This is a great example of players taking ownership of their preparation, please keep it going.

Well done to everyone involved, and thanks again for sharing the update and photos. We also acknowledge and thank Wanneroo City Soccer Club for supplying the venue and of course, the Wanneroo players who were selected to represent Walking Football Australia - WalkAroos in May at Perry Park in Brisbane

Thank You Walking Footballers across Australia

With teams selection now complete, I would like to personally thank every single trialist who gave it their absolute best.

Sometimes our very best doesn’t quite get us over the line but the effort, enthusiasm, and determination you showed throughout this process will always remain a positive part of your development and your game.

This year’s trials were unlike anything we have done before. With so many players hoping to earn a place, the level of competition was incredibly high. From the outset, we made it clear that previous selection would not influence this process, and we stayed true to that commitment.

For the first time, we conducted trials on a truly nationwide scale, attracting many players we had never seen before and uncovering a great deal of new talent.

We recognised that talent, we evaluated fairly, and we are deeply proud of the integrity of the process. I want to take a moment to acknowledge our assessors, who dedicated countless hours from early-August through to November 20.

Their consistency, professionalism, and commitment were exceptional, and they deserve enormous credit for their contribution to this national project.

Thank you once again to
Mhairi Glover
Robbie Glover
Chris Cassettari
Noeline Cassettari
Maria Hulls

Please take a look at the pie charts from the past four months expertly put together by Mhairi which offer a clear snapshot of the regions and communities we engaged with during this extensive trial period.

Thank you all once again for being part of this historic and highly competitive selection journey.

On behalf of Walking Football Australia Walkaroos (WFAW) and the International Walking Football Federation (IWFF), it is with great pleasure that we welcome all teams so far looking to participate in the IWFF Walking Football World Championships, to be held in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, from 28 to 31 May 2026. We are being proactive and transparent in our lead up to May 2026. All teams mentioned below have expressed interest, and now that there is significant interest we hope to hear from more Nations in the coming months. Well done to all Nations again for your EOI

This major international tournament will bring together teams from Europe, Asia, and the Pacific, including Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom.

The Championships will be hosted in partnership with Brisbane Strikers Football Club and supported by local community and football organisations across Queensland and Australia.

The event aims to promote health, inclusion, and lifelong participation through the rapidly growing sport of walking football, while strengthening international friendship and cooperation among both existing and new nations of the IWFF.

As of November 7, we are proud to announce that we now have 42 teams representing 14 nations who have expressed their interest in joining this historic tournament, the first IWFF World Championships ever to be held in the Southern Hemisphere. We are confident this will reach 50 teams by the new year.

This is an exciting milestone for the IWFF family, and we are honoured to organise it here in Australia. If successful, this event could pave the way for a rotating global championship every 5–6 years, providing an exceptional opportunity for walking football to expand worldwide.
