Step aside AC Milan and Internazionale Team Homeless is in town. Representing the world in Milano from the 6th to the 13th of September, the Homeless World Cup takes light with teams from 48 countries competing in the sixth annual Homeless WC tournament.
And because this event is no joke major sponsors Nike, UEFA, Vodafone have jumped onboard to make this a reality for years to come. Professional clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur and the aforementioned Inter and AC Milan are lenting a hand also in helping organizers reach their goal of improving the lives of those less fortunate.
Visit the homeless worldcup website, check the videos and pictures, think about how you could contribute next year or simply make a donation. According to the organization's website,
"73% of players are changing their lives for the better by coming off drugs and alcohol, moving into jobs, education, homes, training, reuniting with families and even going on to become players and coaches for pro or semi-pro football teams."
