Fundraising for Homeless World Cup

Story

If F.C. Business fans wish to donate to a great cause in a World Cup year we have set up this Justgiving Page.

We have chosen to support the Homeless World Cup, beating homelessness through football.

Homeless World Cup is a world-class, annual, international football tournament, held in Rio De Janeiro this year with 64 national teams of homeless players representing their country, standing proud. Players change their lives, coming off drugs and alcohol, moving into jobs, homes, training, education, rebuilding self-esteem, repairing relationships and becoming coaches, players and social entrepreneurs.

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.
