Community Event for the White Ribbon Scotland White Ribbon Cup Walking Football Festival

Sunday 5th July 2026 from 10am-12.30pm

Pitreavie Sports and Soccer Centre in Dunfermline KY11 8PP

'The festival is an opportunity to come together and enjoy a fun morning of walking football together while also promoting the White Ribbon Fife campaign, which encourages people to take the pledge never to commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women.

Could you put together a team to compete to win the White Ribbon Cup?

This team could be from your workplace, a family or friends group or players from an existing football or sports team or group.

· All players must be aged 16 or over.

· Teams can be mixed gender.

· It is recommended your team consists of 6-8 players.

· Your team will take part in a minimum of 4-5 games each approximately 10-12 minutes long. (This will be confirmed when we have our final tournament team list. Draw to take place week commencing 22nd June)

· We will be playing walking football. Rules here: www.walkingfootballscotland.org/lawsofthegame

· There is no team entry fee.

· You will need to be able to get your team to the venue for registration and briefing on the day of the festival. Registration will be open from 9.00am, with a briefing at 9.40am.

· We recommend team members bring water bottles and layers of clothing to adapt to the weather on the day.

· Changing rooms are available on site.

Teams will be competing to win the White Ribbon Cup, accompanied by a goody bag for each member of the winning team.

All competing teams will receive a participants' medal and the warm fuzzy feeling of doing something good for their community. Sign up here or scan our QR code to find out more. Sign up deadline: 19th June. Any questions, please email [email protected]
