Story

Working with a network of 74 Street Football Partners, the Homeless World Cup Foundation has positively impacted the lives of 1.2 million people around the world, but we know that this isn't enough. There is an estimated 100 million people experiencing homelessness around the world, and 1.6 billion people are believed to lack adequate housing.

With your support, we can continue to inspire people who are homeless to make positive changes in their lives with the power of football while also changing people's perceptions of homelessness and the issues around it.

We are a small organisation with great impact and even greater ambition! Together with our Street Football partners we have already changed people's lives:

1.2 Million lives changed since 2003

83% of Homeless World Cup participants improved social relations and 77% changed their lives because of their involvement in football

83% of spectators at the event now have a more positive attitude towards people experiencing homelessness

For every dollar invested in our event, Homeless World Cup raised $8.62 in social return

A small donation from you will help us impact the lives of even more people around the world. You can join our global movement today!

About the charity

Homeless World Cup

RCN SC037091
The Homeless World Cup Foundation is a unique, pioneering charity which uses football to inspire homeless people to change their own lives. We support grassroots football programmes and social enterprise development through a network of more than 70 Street Football Partners. We provide a focus for—and celebration of—their year-round activity by organising and delivering an annual, world-class, international football tournament for national teams of men and women who are homeless. Since 2001, we have been committed to “changing the lives of people who are homeless through football.” Today, the work of our movement is varied and extensive - from building awareness about homelessness and raising funds for our activities, to organising our annual Homeless World Cup tournament. The Homeless World Cup Tournament is our flagship event. Delivered by the Homeless World Cup Foundation in co-ordination with a Local Organising Committee, the event brings together teams from all around the world for an inspiring week-long festival of football. Participating teams are managed by our Street Football Partners and are formed by men and women all of whom have experienced homelessness.
