NINTH HOMELESS WORLD CUP FOR THE BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA HOMELESS NATIONAL TEAM

The Bosnia and Herzegovina Homeless National Team / Bosnia and Herzegovina National Street Football Team has departed for the 20th edition of the Homeless World Cup, which will be held in Oslo (Norway) from August 23rd to 30th.

MFS-EMMAUS, as a long-standing partner of the Homeless World Cup (HWC) organization from Scotland, has been the official coordinator of this important project since 2011.

Over the past 13 years, our team has proudly represented Bosnia and Herzegovina across the globe – from Mexico, Poland, Norway, the Netherlands, Scotland, and Spain, to Cardiff and all the way to Chile, where it achieved its greatest result: the title of World Vice-Champion.

However, although sporting results bring pride, the true victory of this project is measured beyond the pitch – through experiences and life-changing moments that strengthened players’ self-confidence and gave them the opportunity to be ambassadors of their country. A special tournament rule, which allows a player to participate only once, ensures that as many participants as possible experience the power of sport and the chance for a fresh start.

Our national team will make its debut match against Austria, aiming to open the championship with a victory and take the first step towards the knockout stage.

In Group H of the first group stage, Bosnia and Herzegovina will also face Indonesia, Ivory Coast, and Kyrgyzstan.

The host has provided live streaming of all matches, and the link can be found on the official Facebook page of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Homeless National Team, where you can also follow all other updates related to the team.
