HOMELESS WORLD CUP FOUNDATION LAUNCHES GLOBAL FANZONE TO BRING SUPPORTERS CLOSER THAN EVER

The Homeless World Cup Foundation today (19th April 2026) launched its new global Fanzone, a dedicated space where supporters can connect with the movement, follow the journey of players and support life-changing work the Homeless World Cup Foundation does around the world.

For the first time, fans can become part of the Homeless World Cup community through a simple monthly membership starting from £5.

More than just a donation, the Fanzone offers supporters:

  • Exclusive behind-the-scenes content

  • Early access to tournament news and updates

  • Insights from 75 Homeless World Cup Member Countries

  • Access to Homeless World Cup merchandise and to partner offers and experiences worldwide

  • A closer connection to players and their journeys throughout the year

The Homeless World Cup Foundation works with 75 global Member Countries

Powered by Lokkaroom, the Fanzone is a global platform designed to build communities through sport, purpose and storytelling

The Fanzone will continue to evolve in the coming months, with the introduction of new features designed to bring supporters even closer to the movement.

This includes the upcoming launch of an official Homeless World Cup online shop, featuring Foundation merchandise, giving supporters the opportunity to show their support and be part of the global community both on and off the pitch.

This launch marks a major step in the Foundation’s evolution:

moving from one-off support to a year-round global movement.

With the Homeless World Cup returning to Mexico City for the 21st edition of the tournament, supporters will now be able to follow the journey to Mexico City closer than ever before, including exclusive access to content from the tournament.

Matthew Williams, Director of Marketing and Communications at the Homeless World Cup Foundation , said:

“We have an incredible global community who believe in the power of football to change lives. They follow the Homeless World Cup tournament, connect with our players and support what we stand for.

But to continue this work and to reach more people who need it, we need consistent, ongoing support from our global network.

By joining the Homeless World Cup Fanzone for just £5 a month, supporters are directly helping fund opportunities for players, strengthening our 75 Member Countries and enabling us to continue delivering a global tournament that changes lives.

This is about turning support into something lasting, a global community driving real change through football.”

The Fanzone will continue to evolve, introducing new content, experiences, and ways to engage supporters worldwide.
