It exists to be a catalyst for lasting change through the development of street soccer worldwide in a way that that creates a maximum social impact for the players involved – socially excluded, homeless people and people living in poverty.
This is accomplished firstly by creating a top quality, well-recognised annual Homeless World Cup flagship event and secondly, by a continuous Homeless World Cup grass roots development programmes around the world to ensure that many more people benefit.
And it works. 77% of players involved significantly change their lives forever.

Homeless World Cup says: "catch Kicking It in USA Cinemas" (7 weeks ago) me too! | | Didier Drogba, Chelsea | | "It’s an event that can change the life of anyone, not simply to help them become a professional footballer, but so that they can become a man, in everyday life. So that they can develop with regard to today’s society, which is not an easy society for everyone and that means above all developing values, human values, which I think are very important." | | | Ringo Starr, The Beatles | | "The Homeless World Cup brings thousands of players a phenomenal once in a lifetime opportunity to play football for their country and change their lives forever. The determination and tremendous human spirit expressed as they have the courage to take this opportunity and over come obstacles to create a new world, is true inspiration for us all. This is a powerful experience they will carry with them forever and never look back. They are real stars. Get into the Homeless World Cup. Participate in sport changing the world." | | | Sir Alex Ferguson, Manager, Manchester United | | "This is the fourth year that Manchester United has worked with The Big Issue in the North on the Homeless World Cup project and we are happy to be involved again. The previous years' events have shown that football is a powerful tool in changing people's lives, and it's great that we can play a part in that." | | | Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United and England | | "You love football. But how do you train if you are homeless? How do you travel to compete if you do not have a passport? Football is for everyone. Get into the Homeless World Cup. I do." | | | Ian Botham, England cricketer and Ashes winner | | "The Homeless World Cup is sport at its most powerful. This September we will witness true passion, team spirit, grit and glory as over 300 players from 48 countries head to Cape Town united by one goal: to change the world. These are real stars with strength and courage to make real change. Wish them well. Cheer them on. Get into the Homeless World Cup." | |
