Homeless World Cup
Festive Appeal 2024
So that everyone can be home for Christmas
Christmas is one of the most isolating times of the year for people who are experiencing homelessness. This year a fifth of the world’s population will be spending Christmas in inadequate housing*.
Donate to the Homeless World Cup Festive Appeal and support us to end homelessness by creating a global community and change through the power of football.

“We don’t have 600, 800, 1,000 beneficiaries from the Homeless World Cup, we have hundreds of thousands, because the impact that these people will have in their communities is mind-blowing.”
