The Homeless World Cup is a world-class international football tournament, which unites teams of people who are homeless to take a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent their country.
The event raises awareness of the fact that an estimated one billion people around the world are currently living without secure shelter and draws homeless players from 60 different countries. It is one of the biggest football events of the year, with thousands of spectators expected throughout the week.
Football has the power to uplift spirits, rebuild broken lives, and create new paths for a better future. Being part of it and making a difference is simply a magical experience that will stay with you forever.
The Homeless World Cup provides an exciting opportunity to work closely with people of another culture and make a difference in their lives. Regardless of the work you carry out, you will inject enthusiasm and encourage the local volunteers by sharing the burden of the numerous tasks involved in making the event happen on a daily basis.
To participate you just need to raise the minimum amount of sponsorship (£2300 or £800 if you are a self funder), which will allow you plus a homeless player to be part of this amazing event. If you raise £2300 (or equivalent in other currencies) in sponsorship then your flights, accommodation and food are provided for free.
