How We Help
The Homeless World Cup is pioneering a level of impact never seen before. Over 70% of players significantly change their lives.
The Homeless World Cup Foundation operates through a network of 73 National Partners around the world, supporting football programes and social enterprise development.
Under the guidance of the Homeless World Cup our National Partners provide, or provide access to, the professional services homeless people need: educational, employment, health or legal advice.
Our National Partners also run tournaments and trials to select the players who make the journey to the Homeless World Cup annual tournament each year - and support them in making the most of this experience on their return afterwards: moving on in their lives and becoming the models and ambassadors for other homeless people in their countries.
