Be a Teammate. Make a difference.
The Homeless World Cup uses football to end homelessness. We do this with an annual, world-class, international football tournament where homeless players represent their country and change their lives forever. They come off drugs and alcohol, move into homes, jobs, education, training, repair relationships and become football coaches and players. The Homeless World Cup has inspired football programmes in over 70 nations with 40,000 homeless players training each year.
On a recent site visit to Latin America to agree the venue for the Rio 2010 Homeless World Cup, we met players who participated in the Cape Town 2006 Homeless World Cup. They are now leaders in their community, encouraging other kids off the streets and on to the football pitch. They are confident, strong with wives and children of their own. The impact continues on.
United we make a big difference.
