Statistics from players surveyed at the Homeless World Cup in Cardiff 2019
Since the Homeless World Cup was established in 2003, over 80 nations across the globe have brought teams to the tournament.
Every player coming to the Homeless World Cup has overcome personal struggles to get there. At the Homeless World Cup, our players are celebrated - as athletes and as inspirations to the next generation.
Donations help to fund our tournament and our year-round work with our Global Member Countries. We support them to develop and grow, so we can reach more people and continue to use sport to transform lives.
We have 68 Member Countries as part of the Homeless World Cup Network - with your support and donations, we are aiming to establish more global Member Countries and to further grow the Homeless World Cup tournament and our year-round activities.
A world without homelessness.
That’s the goal.
