Team USA will present a team comprising players from cities across the whole of the nation at the Melbourne 2008 Homeless World Cup. The USA program is flourishing and interest in street soccer across the nation is burgeoning. This summer players from 12 cities including San Francisco, California, Anne Arbor, Michigan, Austin, Texas, and New York, travel to Washington DC for the USA Homeless Cup. By building relationships of trust through shared experience on the soccer pitch we have seen the success rate remain above 80 percent and our players set and achieve loftier goals than ever before.
