To mark 150 days to go until the Sacramento Homeless World Cup on Wednesday 8th February, we are launching our fundraising campaign: ‘150 million reasons’ to support the Homeless World Cup.
We are asking our supporters – both new and existing – to back the Homeless World Cup and help us to continue in our vision of a world without homelessness.
2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the Homeless World Cup. Our first tournament was held in Austria in 2003 and over the last 20 years we have impacted over 1.2 million lives and currently work with 72 member countries worldwide.

There are 150 million reasons to support the Homeless World Cup so help us mark our 20th anniversary this year by donating to the Foundation so we can continue to make a real impact across the globe for another 20 years.
We want to increase the amount of Member Countries we work with, adding more countries to the Homeless World Cup Family. Your donation will enable us to keep operating with our partners but also grow the number of organisations we can help.
Your support will also allow us to continue to host tournaments across the world that inspire people who are homeless to change their own lives and ultimately changing people’s perceptions and attitudes.
Get involved on social media and share your reason for supporting the Homeless World Cup by tagging us and using the hashtag #150millionreasons.
Together we can show that a world without homelessness is possible.
