Today marks 60 days out from one of our favorite events of the year. The Homeless World Cup is the culmination of a year’s work to positively impact those affected by homelessness and to help change the perception of these individuals. The Homeless World Cup Foundation uses football as a mutual human connection to bring homeless people out of isolation and challenge them to share and communicate with others. By charging them with the responsibility to be active participants in something larger than themselves, these individuals have the opportunity to feel empowered over their own lives again.
This year marks the 16th edition of the annual tournament and is expected to be one of the largest to date. As the tournament continues to grow and impact more lives across the world, Act Global is honored to continue to be involved in the tournament. The 2018 event in Mexico will be our 4th year as the synthetic turf sponsor. Each of us at Act Global is humbled each year by the lasting effects of the tournament and we are sure that this year will be no different.
Thank you, Homeless World Cup Foundation for continuing to push for social change throughout the world.
