“I fell in love with the Homeless World Cup at the Sacramento 2023 Homeless World Cup. Having a background in football, it was refreshing and humbling to see not only the quality of play but also the friendships, respect and fair play that define the competition. I’ve been itching to come back, and I’m thrilled to join as a roving reporter for this exciting new addition. I can’t wait to bring the stories and energy of Oslo to audiences around the world.”
Keith Easton, Woosh, said:
“We’ve been working with the Homeless World Cup since 2007 and it’s always a privilege. We love the tournament, the people behind it and everything it stands for. This highlight show is another chance to showcase that the Homeless World Cup is more than just a football tournament. From our base in Edinburgh, we’ll be working closely with Kas in Oslo and QTV here in Scotland to deliver highlights, interviews and stories that capture the heart of this incredible event.”
Jack McGill, CEO of QTV, said:
“We love working with the Homeless World Cup and - as we embark on our sixth edition of the tournament - it’s a real honour to support this exciting new show as part of our broadcast agreement. We hope it will be a special addition to the event’s output and an opportunity to capture many of the inspiring stories that emerge ever year.
The show is the perfect way for audiences to engage with the tournament in an entertaining way every evening. QTV will be on the ground in Oslo as well bringing all the live action to the Homeless World Cup YouTube channel, FIFA+ and the Eurovision Sport platform. We can’t wait to see this product grow and help the Homeless World Cup reach even more audiences around the world.”
