What a brilliant day we had celebrating International Women’s Day with our special Women’s Walking Football Tournament here on Madeira 
The event was wonderfully organised by ATARAM and Club 1° Maio, and it was a proper success from start to finish.
Our Ladies Madeira Walking Football group entered two teams and they did us proud today … finishing 4th and 5th out of 6 teams. Well done, ladies! So proud of you all. 
Great games, brilliant spirit, and everyone stayed on for a lovely lunch afterwards. What a great time had by all who attended!
We joined forces with some fantastic local all-women sides: 1° Maio, Santacruzense, Alpha Musa, and Estreito. The pitch at the 1° Maio sports complex was full of energy, plenty of fun, and non-stop laughter.
The weather was kind … a bit chilly, but dry, no wind, and the sun and clouds playing hide and seek all morning. Perfect for walking football!
A huge thank you to everyone who made it such a special, friendly occasion … especially to ATARAM and Club 1° Maio for putting it all together so well.
Here are a few pics from the day – look at those smiles!

Always check with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise. Walking Football is a great complement, but doesn’t replace medical advice.
