"WABOL® is an instrument of happiness" - Josep Maldonado

How we see the game

WABOL®: "We don’t stop playing sport because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing sport."

It is a little like football, but it is neither football nor a version of it. It is a slower, more relaxed game, better suited to older people.

WABOL® is a game in which players may only walk; running is not allowed. It is designed to help people stay fit and maintain an active lifestyle, regardless of age or fitness level.

Come and try it: WABOL® sessions every week.

What is WABOL®, and what will you do?

WABOL players share a morning of sport on the pitch

You’ll take part in a walking activity specially adapted for you. You’ll play a very simple, gentle form of walking football, where you don’t need to have played football before or have experience in any sport.

In every session:

  • You’ll move gently, at your own pace, without running.
  • You’ll share the game with people like you: older, active and keen to have a good time.
  • You’ll be part of a friendly group, where community and respect matter most.
  • The activity lasts about an hour. You can come during the week or at weekends, as often as you like.

What will you enjoy?

The most important thing about Wabol isn’t the physical activity, but how you’ll feel while doing it. You’ll discover a place where:

  • You’ll feel welcome from day one.
  • You’ll laugh, chat and make new friends.
  • You’ll rediscover the joy of moving and sharing.
  • You’ll leave with more energy, a better mood and less loneliness.
  • Every gathering will be your time to enjoy yourself, without pressure.

Our story

About WABOL®

WABOL® began as an initiative especially for people over 55, but its inclusive nature and simple rules—such as walking only and playing with two touches—have made it accessible to all ages. It is easy to learn, fun to play and, above all, ideal for staying active while enjoying the game.

WABOL® began in 2016 with a simple idea: no one should have to stop playing. A team sport to stay active, connect with others and enjoy the game at your own pace.
