THE HOMELESS WORLD CUP FOUNDATION IS A GLOBAL CHARITY USING FOOTBALL TO CHANGE LIVES THROUGH 75 GRASSROOTS ORGANISATIONS WORLDWIDE.

A world without homelessness.
That’s the goal.

Football can change LIVES

More than 300 million people worldwide are experiencing homelessness - too often isolated, excluded and overlooked.

The Homeless World Cup Foundation is a global charity using football to help people reconnect with their communities, rebuild confidence and move forward.

Through our global network of 75 Homeless World Cup Member Countries, grassroots organisations deliver year-round programmes that create belonging, opportunity and support for people experiencing homelessness.

Our annual tournament brings that work to a global stage, celebrating the players, challenging perceptions and showing what people can achieve when given the chance.

Help us change more lives through football.

Every donation, virtual Impact Stadium seat purchased and new supporter helps our global network reach more people through football.

Whether you give today, take your place in the Impact Stadium or join our Fanzone, you become part of a year-round movement creating belonging, opportunity and hope.
