Take action. Support the Rio 2010 Homeless World Cup and Paris 2011 Homeless World Cup

 

In September 2006, Galera Magazine, focusing on the awareness of social issues, set up a street soccer programme. They held their first training session in January involving 20 homeless and disadvantaged people. The beginning of an exciting journey for Greece, growing and growing again. Final Position: Milan 2009 - 24th; Melbourne 2008 - 30th; Copenhagen 2007 - 35th
