Statistics from players surveyed at the Homeless World Cup in Cardiff 2019

Since the Homeless World Cup was established in 2003, over 80 nations across the globe have brought teams to the tournament.

Every player coming to the Homeless World Cup has overcome personal struggles to get there. At the Homeless World Cup, our players are celebrated - as athletes and as inspirations to the next generation.

Donations help to fund our tournament and our year-round work with our Global Member Countries. We support them to develop and grow, so we can reach more people and continue to use sport to transform lives.

We have 68 Member Countries as part of the Homeless World Cup Network - with your support and donations, we are aiming to establish more global Member Countries and to further grow the Homeless World Cup tournament and our year-round activities.

A world without homelessness.

That’s the goal.

150 million reasons to support the Homeless World Cup

There are a reported 150 million people globally who are homeless (World Economic Forum, 2021).

We are asking our supporters, new and existing to support the Homeless World Cup and to help us continue in our vision of a world without homelessness.

There are 150 million reasons to support the Homeless World Cup so help us continue to making a real impact across the globe for another 20 years.

We want to increase the amount of Member Countries we work with, adding more countries to the Homeless World Cup Family and bringing more teams and players to our tournament. Your donation will enable us to keep operating with our partners but also grow the number of organisations we can help.
