Experience the joy of movement with walking soccer

The Stadtsportbund Jena e.V., in cooperation with the Thuringian Football Association and the senior citizens' meeting facilities of the city of Jena, invites you to a series of taster events on the subject of walking soccer. This is also possible thanks to the support of the Sparkassenstiftung Jena - Saale - Holzland, which promotes the topic of senior sports at the Stadtsportbund Jena e.V..

Under the motto "Geh-Fußball - Kommen, Gehen, Tor schießen!", interested citizens can experience a new, health-conscious form of soccer - without any pressure to perform, but with a lot of joy in movement.

Walking soccer, also known as "walking football", is a form of soccer that does not involve running. The game is particularly aimed at older people and people with limited mobility, but also offers everyone else a welcome opportunity to stay active or get back into sport. The focus is on team spirit, fairness and fun.

Dates and locations of the taster events:

• 14.05.2025 - Jena North
  Friedensstraße football pitch
  
• 28.05.2025 - Jena Winzerla
  Artificial turf pitch Winzerla
  
• 04.06.2025 - Jena West

• 11.06.2025 - Jena East
  Sports field at Jenzig

The events start at 10:00 am. Participation is free of charge, but prior registration is requested.

"With walking soccer, we are creating a sporting offer that connects people - across generations and regardless of fitness level. It's about enjoying exercise and being together on the pitch,"

says Thomas Schmidt, Sports Coordinator at the Jena City Sports Association.

Interested citizens and social institutions are cordially invited to take part in the events or to find out about other offers and opportunities for cooperation.
