Mixed adult football is an inclusive format of the game that gives adults the opportunity to play together, in the same team and against each other, in a welcoming and respectful environment.

It is a separate format of the game, sitting outside of the existing male and female game, with its own spirit and expectations. Everyone who takes part makes an active choice to be “in”, helping to create the kind of playing experience that makes mixed adult football possible.

As of the 2026-27 season, mixed adult football is now part of the affiliated game. 

Points to note:

• Player Eligibility:

Players must be aged 18 or over to participate.

• Formats included:

• Small-Sided Football
• Futsal 
• 11 v 11 Football
• Walking Football

Mixed adult football matches are not permitted within male or female only leagues and competitions.
