The Homeless World Cup is an annual, international street soccer
tournament, uniting teams of people who are homeless and excluded to
take a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent their country and
change their lives forever. It has inspired and continues to support
soccer projects around the world working with homeless and marginalised
people.
The first Homeless World Cup was in Graz, Austria in 2003. Since then Gothenburg, Edinburgh, Cape Town and Copenhagen have played host to the tournament. Having participated with our Street Socceroos since the 2005 tournament in Edinburgh, The Big Issue put in a successful bid to host the 2008 Homeless World Cup in Melbourne. In 2008, running from december 1st to 7th, Melbourne will host the sixth Homeless Word Cup and will welcome teams from over 50 nations worldwide. Players will come together in the spirit of sport and community to represent their countries, entertain the crowds and demonstrate the power of sport as a means of social inclusion. Make sure you come to this fantastic free community event! Adopt A Team Get your school involved with the Melbourne 2008 Homeless World Cup and learn about another culture. The Adopt a Team program is an opportunity to enrich the learning of thousands of Australian school students by linking them to the Melbourne 2008 Homeless World Cup and making it possible for some disadvantaged nations to participate. Within a structure provided by the Education Foundation Australia, and supported by the Homeless World Cup, school communities will be invited to adopt a team participating in the Homeless World Cup.

The Rotary Club of Footscray, in partnership with Ethio-Australian Sports Federation, Victoria Police and Footscray United Soccer Club Inc. are hosting the African Cup charity game on Sunday 7 December 2008. The match pits a combined side made up from Victoria Police and the Footscray United Soccer Club, featuring Publicis' own Rob Tripp, against an Ethiopian side from the local community. There will also be two games played amongst the African community. The event aims to develop relationships within the local community, increase the opportunities for the African community to participate in physical activity, create greater community collaboration in sport and recreation programs, and ensure that population groups with special needs (people of non-English speaking backgrounds) can access programs and services across our suburbs. The day will feature a BBQ sausage sizzle, canteen sales and African music. Proceeds on the day will go to the Rotary Club to support programs that will help engage and support the African community. Please contact Robert Tripp for enquiries on rtripp@melbmg.com or Mobile 0414 86 88 37. Start: 19:00
