Walking Football NSW

Welcome to Woopi! ⚽💙

Walking Football has arrived in Woolgoolga!

On Tuesday 18 August, we held our first WalkSoccer Come & Try session at Wiigulga Sports Complex, giving locals the chance to discover just how much fun football can be at a walking pace.

It was great to see players getting involved, having a kick, meeting new people and enjoying the social side of the game.

Woolgoolga ,affectionately known by locals as “Woopi”, is a beautiful coastal town on the Mid North Coast, around 25 km north of Coffs Harbour. The name Woolgoolga comes from the Gumbaynggirr Aboriginal word for the black apple tree, while “Woopi” is the friendly local nickname.

Now Woopi has WalkSoccer too!

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the first session and helped get this new Walking Football community underway.

And the best news? We’re coming back every week!

What a fun experience to be part of! ⚽️📺

Lee couldn’t quite help his beloved Arsenal take out the A Current Affair Cup, even with those all-important bonus points from the Best Club Song Sing-Off! 😂🔴⚪️

At least the result was a little easier to swallow with the Red Manchester taking home the Cup!

Great fun being part of A Current Affair’s segment celebrating the kickoff of the 2026/27 Premier League season on Stan Sport.

Go Gunners! 🔴⚪️

💙 Metro + Regional. One NSW.

The journey is underway.

We’ve had our first look at the representative pathway through footage from the NSW Metro trials, with more training sessions taking place this week across the programme.

Players from weekly hubs across Metro and Regional NSW are now taking the next step toward State representation and the WFFA Cup 2026.

This is only the beginning.

12 teams. One State. One identity.

More reveals are coming soon — including the name, the badge, the squads and the kit.

💙 Introducing the NSW Blue Tongues

Today, we are proud to reveal the new name and identity for NSW’s representative walking football teams:

The NSW Blue Tongues.

This new State identity brings together players from across Metro and Regional NSW as they prepare to represent NSW at the WFFA Cup 2026 and beyond.

The Blue Tongue is uniquely Australian, resilient and unmistakable, a fitting symbol for a team built from communities right across our State. It represents pride, character and the growing strength of walking football in NSW.

The NSW Blue Tongues are more than a tournament team.

They represent a pathway for players to progress from weekly local hubs and tournaments through to State representation, with future opportunities that may extend to Australian selection and international events.

Over the coming days, we’ll begin revealing the teams and introducing the players who will proudly wear the badge.
