Walking Football – Laws of the Game (LOTG):

As you have probably found there are various laws of the game for walking football. Each set of rules, although slightly different, has been developed to help keep the game safe, to encourage fair pair, and sportsmanship.

For competitive tournaments we support and use Football Australia’s – Laws of the Game, they are slightly more geared toward competitive games.

For the Asia Pacific Walking Football Cup, we recognise that our neighbours in the region typically follow the Walking Football Association Laws of the game and are more than happy to adopt these for these events. The WFA LOTG address contact and “not walking” in slightly more detail.

For more social and less competitive events and session the rules can be simplified and Football Queensland have produced the following guidelines which cater for games with and without goalkeepers

There is a time and place for each of these rules and they all allow for “local” adjustments, what suits one club or session may not suit another. Above all and regardless of which LOTG you follow, the Association of Walking Football Australia encourages all players to play to the spirit of the game with particular attention to ‘no running’, ‘no contact’ and respect for all other players and match officials.
