Football can change LIVES

More than 300 million people worldwide are experiencing homelessness - too often isolated, excluded and unseen.

We believe football can be a powerful catalyst for a first step away from homelessness.

Joining a team gives people the chance to communicate, share responsibility and feel part of something again.

Through training, matches and shared goals, people build trust, form positive relationships and rediscover structure, purpose and pride. They are valued for the contribution they make and the role they play within the team, rather than being defined by their circumstances.

Across our network in 75 countries, Homeless World Cup Member Countries deliver year-round football programmes that connect people with support, skills and opportunities to move forward on and beyond the pitch.

Our annual Homeless World Cup tournament brings that year-round work to a global stage, celebrating the players and their journeys, uniting teams and communities from around the world, challenging perceptions of homelessness and showing what people can achieve when they are given the opportunity, support and belief to thrive.

HELP MORE PEOPLE TAKE THEIR FIRST STEP THROUGH FOOTBALL.
