Danish delight - Portugal Resident
After their successful visit last year, FC Prostata from Denmark once again enjoyed the hospitality of East Algarve Walking Football (EAWF) at sessions in Olhão and Tavira.
The visitors, who have all recovered from prostate cancer, enjoyed the friendly challenge and lively banter that has further cemented the bonds of friendship between the two groups.
The recent diabetes checks of blood sugar levels among some 60 players, officials and members of the public came up with some unexpected results.
Peter Diprose of Algarve Health and Social Care said: “A quarter of those tested were close to or outside the safe limits and we have advised them to consult their medical practitioners.”
EAWF will continue to raise awareness of health issues and take steps to ensure that the physical and social benefits of walking football are dovetailed into a programme of health tests for those who wish to participate.
