Walking Football Brasil introduced walking football to the country in 2018, in partnership with the Federation of International Walking Football Associations, and remains its official representative. Led by its president, Ricardo Leme Pacheco, it uses a version of football played at walking pace to keep people over 60 active, healthy and connected.
Most of its funding comes through Brazil’s tax-incentive laws for sport and for older people, complemented by institutional donations.
Two points deserve credit. It measures health outcomes — physical tests as well as participants’ own assessments — through a dedicated research area. And its work has been recognized at home and abroad, including by the FGV social-responsibility prize and an international grassroots award.
It is No. 41 in thedotgood’s Brazil Top 100 Social Good Organizations.
