Background to the Homeless World Cup
The Homeless World Cup is an annual, international football tournament, uniting teams of homeless, excluded individuals in a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent their country and change their lives. The event attracts around 25,000 people who take part in training and trials around the world, with the top 500 players from 48 nations competing at the Homeless World Cup.
The impact on participant’s lives is significant, with around three quarters of players changing their lives for the better by coming off drugs and alcohol, getting jobs, an education, homes, training or being reunited with their families. Some even go on to become players and coaches for pro or semi-pro football teams!
Volunteers are needed as:
- Online Match Reporters
- Match Photographers
- Photographer Assistants
- Media Assistants
- Access Monitors
- Catering Assistants – Competition Venue
- Catering Assistants – Player Village
- Player Storage/Changing Rooms Monitor

While we’re discussing things related to Volunteer for the Homeless World Cup Lifestyle Ethical Pulse, How about opting for charitable invitations that will not only invite our friends and family for the party but would also contribute a little amount for the poor and needy?
