My story

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.

Testimonials

"All over the world, I want to say, we've got to end homelessness. Everyone should have a home; it's a right not a privilege." Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu speaking at the Cape Town 2006 Homeless World Cup

"...an outstanding example of how the positive potential of sport can play a vital role in promoting health, education, development and peace." Mr. Adolf Ogi, Previously Special Adviser to UN Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace

"I feel like I am a real citizen for the first time in my life. It was almost like becoming a football star. I have discovered a new person, a better person inside of me." Joao Semedo (21) Portugal, Edinburgh 2005 Homeless World Cup

"The Homeless World Cup can change the life of anyone, so that they can become a man, in everyday life. And that means above all developing values, human values, which I think are very important." Didier Drogba, Chelsea FC
