And that makes two! Italy wins the World Homeless Cup 2005

And that makes two! After the surprise victory at Gothenburg (Sweden) in 2004, the Italian team Multietnica 2001 has won for the second time the World Homeless Cup held in Edinburgh, Scotland, from July 20th to 24th 2005. With a formation made up of new Italians (Brazilians, Moroccans, Rom, and Polish), the team held out against all difficulties, including the loss of three players due to visa problems, at the end of a hard-fought tournament in which 26 national teams took part.

The Homeless World Cup is a street soccer tournament uniting teams of homeless people from around the world to kick off global poverty.
