The Homeless World Cup Foundation
A The Homeless World Cup Foundation is a charity set up to support the
local grass roots football projects based around the highly successful annual,
international football tournament. The Homeless World Cup has triggered grass roots football projects
in over 70 nations working with over 40,000 players all year round. The
Foundation exists to nurture and
grow these projects with the ambition to reach one million players in 75
nations with the benefits of football.
B Today, there are an estimated
1 billion homeless people worldwide. Homeless is not merely a problem in Third World
countries, but is global, affecting even in developed nations. The Homeless
World Cup has a vision to beat homelessness through football, aiming to provide
a most basic need – a home. The 8th Homeless World Cup is set to start in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. From September 19 – September
26 2010, 64 national homeless teams from around the world unite at Copacabana Beach, the home of street soccer.
C Street soccer is a bit
different from the traditional game, but contains many of the same elements.
For starters, the pitch is much smaller (22m by 16m), and there is no grass to
be found. Teams have 8 members, however, only 4 are allowed on the court at a
time. There are also no gender boundaries within the Homeless World Cup, as
teams can be comprised of all men, all women, or mixed.
D The Homeless World Cup was started to give hope and make an impact. In
their research,
the Homeless World Cup has found that the organization has significantly changed the lives of the players for the better and
nearly all players have a new motivation for life. Just ask Bebe, Portugal’s Homeless World Cup star who made
history when Manchester United picked him up in August for £7.4 million. Research
consistently demonstrates that over 70 per cent of players have come off drugs
and alcohol, move into homes, jobs, education and training, repair
relationships and even become coaches and players.
E The Homeless World Cup was founded by world-leading social entrepreneur
Mel Young and is supported by UEFA, Nike, Vodafone Group Foundation, Global Ambassador
Eric Cantona and international footballers Didier Drogba and Rio Ferdinand
because The Homeless World Cup vision is for a healthy, abundant, confident
world where everyone has a home, a basic human need.
