An estimated 100 million people worldwide are homeless. 1.6 billion
live in sub-standard housing. But how can such a simple game like
football tackle such a complex problem? Mel Young and Peter Barr
tell the story of the million homeless people in 70 countries who
have taken part in the Homeless World Cup since it was founded in
2003 and the positive impact it has on the players and everyone
else involved, including spectators. From refugees to drug addicts,
orphans and the poorest of the poor, to homeless people from the
world's richest countries, we read about the moving human drama
behind the event and find out how a ball can change the world. Home
Game provides an insight into the birth of the Homeless World Cup
and how it has become such a global phenomenon, by looking at more
than just facts. It shows how the power of sport can help excluded
people transform their own lives and how the event has transformed
attitudes to homelessness.
