The Homeless World Cup is a life changing international football tournament. From Argentina to Australia, South Africa to Portugal, Cameroon to Brazil, Germany to England homeless people take a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent their country and change their lives forever. 77% of players go on to find a home, come off drugs and alcohol, get into education, jobs, training, repair relationships with friends and family. True grit spirt and glory of grass roots and international football.

Following huge success at the first Homeless World Cup in Austria 2003, Sweden 2004 and Edinburgh 2005, Cape Town 2006, the Homeless World Cup is now recognised as an annual event on the global sporting calendar.

The Homeless World Cup exists to end this so we all have a home, a basic human need. We use football as a trigger to inspire and empower people who are homeless to change their own lives. We do this firstly by creating a world-class, annual, international football tournament; and secondly, by inspiring and supporting grass roots football projects working with homeless and socially excluded people all year round.

More than 200 games are played over the week, and will be played from lunchtime until early evening by 56 international teams. No need to book, just check out the program and turn up!
