National Partners
The Homeless World Cup operates through a network of 70+ National Partners around the world, supporting football programs and social enterprise development.
The Homeless World Cup National Partners provide, or provide access to, the professional services needed - educational, employment, health or legal advice. National Partners also run tournaments and trials to select the 8 players who make the journey to the Homeless World Cup annual tournament each year - and support them in making the most of this experience on their return afterwards: moving on in their lives and becoming the models and ambassadors for other homeless people in their countries.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or partners:
“You cannot become thorough Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has not yet become an American.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
