On June 14 in the city of Petropavlovsk was held a tournament on Walking Football, which united veterans of football and became a real holiday of sport and friendship. The competition was organized by the Kazakhstan Football Federation.

Walking Football is not just a sport, but one of the social initiatives aimed at supporting the older generation. The format of the game promotes an active lifestyle, health promotion and social adaptation. The participants of the tournament were men over 50 years old.

The main feature of this type of football is a ban on running during the game. Moreover, the ball can not be raised above the head. Such rules allow elderly participants to feel comfortable and avoid excessive physical load. Walking Football matches can be held both indoor and outdoor.

The following teams won the tournament:

1st place - veteran team “Avangard”

2nd place - team “Adilet”

3rd place - team “Kazkad”

The tournament was held at a high level and contributed to the strengthening of friendly relationship between participants. Kazakhstan Football Federation plans to continue to implement similar projects.
