HOMELESS WORLD CUP
 The Homeless World Cup exists to promote social integration through football and to create fresh, innovative strategies to end homelessness and poverty.
Every year, the Homeless World Cup, a world-class, international football tournament unites teams of homeless players from all 5 continents of the world. The tournament has grown from 18 nations at the first Graz 2003 Homeless World Cup to 64 at the Rio 2010 Homeless World Cup in September of this year. Over 70% of players experience a significant life change – they come off drugs, alcohol, improve their health and self esteem, repair relationships, get jobs, homes, education, training, become football players, coaches and social entrepreneurs. Nearly 100,000 homeless men and women have benefited and there are now grassroots football programs working with homeless people all year round in over 70 nations.
