The 66-year-old still finds time to play the game and has urged anyone who loves watching football to do the same.
Speaking as The FA launches Reds v Blues weekend, and its wider Love Football Play Football campaign, Dyke addressed a subject close to his heart.
“As someone who still plays football at 66 - when my legs allow it. I am proof anyone can get involved!" he said.
“The FA faces big challenges to keep people playing, and we are stepping up our work on the facilities and coaching side – but let’s not forget the most important thing is to get a ball, find some mates and just have a go.
“Reds v Blues will be the perfect time to do just that – especially with excitement building towards the World Cup in Brazil."
Dyke says you need not make a serious commitment to football in order to get the buzz of taking part.
He said: “We have 400,000 volunteers up and down the country who give their life to football week in, week out and millions playing – but we know there are many others who love the game and could still play.
“Fans who have forgotten that thrill of scoring a goal or making a tackle, and who could get so much out of taking part.
“Football brings people together, encourages healthy living and is, above all, fun. Everyone should join in with the nation’s favourite game."
