Playing in a league of thousands
Posted by Czech Republic - 02/03/2007
The Czech side now plays in a street soccer league in Prague - along with about 1000 other teams.
The players are recovering drug-addicts and many have been homeless for long periods. The organisers have found that the players come to associate football with a positive lifestyle. In the Prague soccer league players from Sananim play in a mixed team with the employees from a theatre: all the participants are amazed at how football can bring people from such different backgrounds together. Copenhagen marks the Czech Republic's forth Homeless World Cup where they will be hoping to travel up the world rankings and win a special trophy.
