The third annual Homeless World Cup takes place in the Scottish capital, with Italy winning the title for the second year in a row. Princes Street Gardens in the centre of Edinburgh plays host to the tournament, with 27 teams taking part.

A unique feature of the Homeless World Cup tournament is that regardless of ability, all teams compete for the same number of days. The competition breaks into a number of different trophies. Because of these levels of competitions, the games are exciting and meaningful even on the final day of the tournament. On the last day, each team earns their final position – and those standings then influence the rankings that will seed next year’s tournament.

There are a total of four trophies up for grabs, with the Homeless World Cup the top prize.
