More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

There are 5 million homeless in Russia due to the political system. We work in Saint-Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Angarsk, Tiumen’, Arkhangelsk where we offer football training, psychological support, assistance to find a job, training, and education to enable people to change their lives. The national football tournament gains media attention to raise awareness and discuss this issue publically, which is currently taboo.

Activities

We offer football training and coaching to people who are excluded and a national tournament gives the opportunity to win, to represent Russia at the Homeless World Cup. 2/3 of people change their lives coming of drugs, alcohol, finding jobs.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

There are 5 million homeless in Russia. This issue is taboo. Football creates a safe platform to raise this issue and improve lives. We will have a national street league and tournament with 30 teams and 5000 homeless people to change their lives.

Project Message

Legally I do not exist I have no rights as a citizen, as a human being. I always dreamed of being a world champion, to bring great joy to my village, to my country. We only think of winning.
