Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, especially in the UK, and no matter the historical background or the globalized sports industry and professional sports packaging, soccer is loved by fans all over the world. In the English city of Derby, the Derby Football Association has teamed up with Active Derbyshire to offer a different kind of soccer - walking soccer. Walking soccer, as the name suggests, involves playing soccer at a slower pace and enjoying the slower pace of the sport. Wouldn't this be a good sport for the community to promote?
For walking soccer, relatively regular soccer rules apply, eliminating the need to run and experiencing the game of soccer at a little bit slower pace for all ages and genders. According to statistics, before June 2014, there were only four walking soccer seasons in the entire country, but now there are more than 15, so people in the Derby community are beginning to love the sport. This is a partnership between industry and government to ensure that the walking soccer tournament runs smoothly through the cooperation of official organizations and many partners, including the Derby Football Association, local councillors, borough councils, clubs, leisure centers, and other local organizations, which helps people in Derby to engage in and enjoy walking soccer, and people will not be restricted because of their physical strength or inability to play football, because this sport There are no restrictions and anyone who enjoys it can take part in the game.
John, 66, said: "I love soccer and used to play five-a-side soccer, but because of my age I couldn't compete on the pitch and so I drifted away from my favorite sport. But when I saw some adverts for walking soccer in Derby I couldn't help but feel in love with the game again, and this time I didn't have to run around very much, from four at the start we now have 10 players on the team. Most importantly, the sport has given us a different place to socialize and I've met more people who enjoy the sport of soccer, it's an activity where you can play, socialize and compete.
