New Trial Date Announced
The Walking Football Association’s England Women’s Kicking Cancer Team is delighted to announce a new trial date for players looking to become part of this unique and inspiring squad.
📅 Sunday 16th August
📍 Oxstalls Sports Park, Gloucestershire
⏰ 2:00pm – 5:00pm
We are inviting women aged 40+ who play for a WFA-affiliated club and are living with cancer, in remission, or have survived a cancer diagnosis to attend our trials.
The women in our team share something far more powerful than a love of football—they share life experiences. Every player understands the emotional and physical journey that comes with a cancer diagnosis because they have lived it or are living it themselves. That shared understanding creates an incredible bond, where no one has to explain how they feel, and everyone supports one another both on and off the pitch.
Our team provides a positive, welcoming environment where friendship, laughter, and football go hand in hand. Together, we want to inspire more women affected by cancer to discover the joy and benefits of walking football, proving that a diagnosis does not define us or stop us from doing the things we love. We believe our squad supports one another, and celebrates every achievement. We give hope, build confidence, and show others that there is still so much to look forward to.
For further information or if you have any questions, please contact:

There will also be a training session for some of our existing squad members on that day.
