Our mission

• The Homeless World Cup‘s goal is to use football as a trigger to inspire and empower homeless people to change their own lives. By this approach the Homeless World Cup will create better opportunities for people who are currently homeless and excluded and reduce homelessness on a global level.

• We will realise this mission using a combination of a global football tournament and local football initiatives. The first, organised as a world-class event, will gain impact, reputation and media interest, which will encourage funding and promotion of innovative grass-root concepts on a local level.

Extraordinary costs with a simple solution

Extraordinary costs to society

500 players x $40,000 = $20M

25,000 players x $40,000 = $1,600M

100,000 players x $40,000 = $4,000M

Homeless World Cup total annual costs = $5M

500 players = $10,000 per player

25,000 players = $125 per player
