Organisation
The Street Football practice in our country began in 2006, an initiative that responds to the popularity of football, and uses it as a tool to provide solutions to some of the social problems present today, especially in areas of high vulnerability.
According to data obtained from studies conducted by the Homeless World Cup Foundation, social integration by improves by 85% the quality of life of the participants, which is why such programs become relevant at the time of seeking effective social development in the country.
Participants in Chile are trained in workshops with specially trained instructors. Paradoxically, to be part of the workshops is not required to be a good footballer.
