TONDELA: AF Viseu Marked Presence at the 1st FICTON Walking Football Tournament

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 15:50

The Viseu Football Association (AF Viseu) marked its presence at the 1st FICTON Walking Football Tournament, held on Sunday, September 13, in the city of Tondela. AF Viseu was represented by its president, José Carlos Lopes.

The tournament was part of the 32nd edition of the Tondela Industrial and Commercial Fair (FICTON), an event that combines commercial, industrial, and sports activities in the region.

The tournament was organized by the Municipality of Tondela and Atlético de Tondela Club, which promoted this adapted form of football, especially aimed at players of various age groups.

Walking Football is a variant of traditional football played at walking pace, without running, mainly aimed at older people or those with physical limitations, and has gained popularity in recent years as a way to maintain physical activity and socialization.

Why this matters

The holding of this tournament in Tondela promotes walking football in the Viseu region, a sport that allows older people to practice physical activity. AF Viseu's participation demonstrates the interest of regional sports entities in this type of inclusive initiative integrated into local festivities.
