Benavente will host on Tuesday, September 15, a demonstration of Walking Football, a modality also known as walking football. This initiative is open to the population aged 50 or over and aims to promote sports practice among seniors.
The experimental session will have free participation and is scheduled for 10:30 am in the riverside area of Benavente. The event aims to bring this sports modality to an age group that normally does not play traditional football.
The demonstration will feature André Coelho, coach of the Portuguese national team of Walking Football. His presence aims to demonstrate the rules and characteristics of this adapted modality.
Walking Football is a variant of football played at a slower pace, where players are not allowed to run, making it suitable for older people or those with physical limitations. This is the first time the modality officially arrives in Benavente.
