Homeless World Cup

Greece's national homeless soccer squad is to set off to Norway to compete in the Homeless World Cup, taking place at the capital's iconic City Hall Square from Tuesday to September 5.

Over 500 players from more than 50 countries will be competing in the 15th edition of the international event, which promises to be among the most ambitious yet.

The Bulgarian capital will host the European homeless championship in 2018.

This was announced by Mel Young, co-founder and president of the Homeless World Cup, after his meeting with Sofia mayor Yordanka Fandakova and Deputy Sports Minister Asen Markov on Wednesday.
