Logan’s elite walking soccer team have moved homes to Meakin Park in Slacks Creek.
The over 65s team was formed in 2022 by local Contact Keith Forrest because there was nothing like it in the city.
The team plays every Tuesday at 8.30am.
The team earlier in the year won the over 65s walking football competition at the Queensland University of Technology in Kelvin Grove.
It was a round robin competition, which involved the team playing eight games over two days.
One player, Michael O’Connell, was even injured scoring a goal.
“I am happy to say that we won,” team member Keith Forrest said.
“As a result, we have been invited to play in other competitions including the Pan Pacific Games, a tournament in Coolum and another in Adelaide.
“It was even suggested that we form a team to take to England next year.”
The team was only formed in August 2022, but has since developed into a mighty force.
“I am more than happy how our small group has progressed,” Mr Forrest said.
The team is currently looking for sponsorship from a Logan business.
“If there any businesses that would like to sponsor us in some way, I would be happy to hear from them,” Mr Forrest said.
The winning team included local men Nigel Rehbock, John McDougall, Malcom Evans, Stuart Purvis, Ross Peachy, Graham Stone, Keith Forrest, Michael O’Connell and Bryson Easton.
