FC Emmen Naoberschap on Madeira island: A Walking Football Adventure on the Enchanted Island
This year, the FC Emmen Naoberschap team (Oldstars) from Emmen in the Netherlands ventured on a special walking football adventure on our sunny island of Madeira. With their walking football skills and a good dose of enthusiasm, they explored not only the green fields and the sun, but also the warm hospitality of this Atlantic gem.
Fun and Connection
The “OldStars” had an eye not only for the game, but also for each other. The social aspect of walking football was the focus. Before and after the games, they enjoyed an island tour, watching a football game of Club Sport Marítimo (CS Marítimo) and also refreshing Poncha drink. The bond between the players grew, and they shared stories and laughed together. It was not just about winning, but mostly about fun and connection.
FC Emmen Naoberschap: A Dutch Pride
The FC Emmen Naoberschap hail from the Netherlands and have a mission: to get seniors moving and encourage an active lifestyle. FC Emmen Naoberschap Foundation organizes weekly sessions adapted to the physical condition of the “Old Stars.” The goal is to let them enjoy soccer, connect with each other and be involved with FC Emmen. It is not only about sport, but also about sociability and togetherness.
An Unforgettable Visit to Madeira
The island of Madeira welcomed the FC Emmen Naoberschap with open arms. The beautiful nature, warm sun and friendly people made it an unforgettable experience. It was not only a walking football tournament, but also a trip full of adventure and new friendships.
In short, the FC Emmen Naoberschap let their soccer hearts do the talking in Madeira. They not only walked on the pitch, but also in the hearts of the locals. An ode to sport, friendship and the enchanting island!
