HOMELESS WORLD CUP tournaments

Since the first Homeless World Cup took place in Graz, Austria, in 2003, the tournament has grown into a global celebration of courage, belonging and change.

Each year, players from across our network of 75 Member Countries come together to represent their nations with pride. Their journeys showcase far more than footballing ability, they reflect determination and the possibility of a different future.

The tournament celebrates the life-changing work delivered year-round by our grassroots partners and marks an extraordinary milestone for people moving forward from homelessness.

More than a sporting event, the Homeless World Cup challenges perceptions, brings communities together and gives a global platform to stories that too often go unseen or unheard.

Every tournament is a reminder of the potential within every person and of football’s power to create connection, opportunity and lasting change.
