The 7th Milan 2009 Homeless World Cup takes place
from 6-13 September 2009 before the tournament
heads to South America in 2010, Europe in 2011.
Since its inception in 2003 the Homeless World
Cup has triggered grass roots football program-
mes in over 70 nations working with at least
30,000 players all year round.

Research demonstrates that over 70% of players involved
experience a significant life change; no-longer using drugs
and alcohol, moving into homes, jobs, education, training,
repairing relationships and becoming coaches or players
with semi-pro teams. 94% claim to have a renewed
motivation for life.

2007 Homeless World said they were more positive
about a corporate that supports the Homeless
World Cup. 85% viewed corporate partners
of the HWC as making a difference.

The Homeless World Cup uses football as a catalyst to
encourage people who are homeless to change their lives;
and to change the attitudes of governments, media, public
and key influencers to create better solutions to homelessness
around the world. We do this with a world-class international
football tournament uniting teams of people who are homeless
to take a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent their
country. And by triggering and developing grass-roots
football programs in over 70 nations currently en-
gaging 30,000 homeless players all year round.

The HWC mission is to engage one million players in
75 nations in the benefits of football and be the most
reputable organisation using sport for social
change in the world.

The inaugural Homeless World Cup kicked off in Graz,
Austria, uniting 18 nations. Since then it has gained great
momentum in Gothenburg, Sweden (2004), Edinburgh,
Scotland (2005), Cape Town, South Africa (2006) and
Copenhagen, Denmark (2007). In Melbourne, Australia
(2008) 56 nations were united for the biggest Homeless
World Cup ever, including the first Women’s Cup and a
legacy of 30 street soccer programs across Australia.

So These Scumbags Are Called British?
No way!! If they are, then for Godsake help
us at "Broken--Little Britain." And, then
truly curse the present, still in power, British
Labour Party for first letting in such scum.
Under its almost criminal and insane policy
of mass immigration to the UK over more
than 10 years, New Labour has now forever
inflicted the country with a permanent burden

of dealing with such scumbags and the masses
of Third World immigrants that will also plague
Britain forevermore. "Rivers of Blood" will be

on the hands of such ilk as Anthony Blair and

Gordon Brown for ignoring the cry against

their floodgate of continuing and mindless

African immigration to the UK at all costs. It's

now about 2 million and still counting!!! Now

read about those above photoed scumbags ...
