Internacionales Mollina WFC may only have been founded in 2023, but they’ve already built a strong reputation. The club trains twice a week at the Mollina Sports Ground and competes in regional competitions such as the Andalucía Walking Football League. Several of their players have even gone on to represent Spain at the international level. The Mollina goalkeeper, for example, is also the goalkeeper for the Spanish national walking football team – a fantastic achievement that shows just how high the level is here.
