About Me

It has triggered and supports grass roots football projects in over 60 nations working with over 30,000 homeless and excluded people throughout the year.73% significantly change their lives by coming off drugs and alcohol, moving into homes, training, jobs, repairing relationships, becoming football players and coaches.The 6th Homeless World Cup arrives in Melbourne, Australia from the 1- 7 December 2008. Milano in 2009.Vive el football!
