Playing for a dream

Just a few years ago, Ken was sleeping rough on the streets. He was only
eighteen years old and had nowhere to go. ‘It was horrible,’ he said. ‘Some
people were kind and bought me sandwiches, but many just passed by as if
I didn’t exist. In the winter, I would wake up freezing cold. In the daytime, I
looked through rubbish bins to see if there was anything I could sell. That’s
where I met Robert. At first, I thought he had come to ask me to leave, but

he explained he was from a homeless charity called Street Aid and invited
me to their shelter. Street Aid were amazing. (1) ’
Things got better and better for Ken. Not only did he have a place to stay
and was no longer cold and hungry, but Street Aid also provided him with health care and got him back in education. ‘I
have finally been given an opportunity. I am starting to have goals in life.’ (2) He was invited to join the Homeless
Football Team, where he discovered his talent as a goalkeeper.

‘Back when I was sleeping on the streets, I would never have believed where I am now. I have always had a passion for
football, but I would never have imagined this. Playing in the Homeless World Cup, making so many friends and getting
encouragement from so many people is something else. People have been incredibly kind. In the future, I’d like to become
a coach to give to other homeless people what Street Aid and the Football Team gave me. They changed how I see myself
and gave me a chance to live a better life. Actually, they saved my life.’
People who are homeless are mostly isolated and don’t have others to share their thoughts with. Getting involved in
football helps people learn how to communicate, build relationships and be part of a team. (3) One player, Marco,
said, ‘Before the football team, my life was chaos. All I thought about was surviving each day and I had no goals for the
future. Now I have dreams for the first time. I’d like to become a paramedic one day to help other people.’
The Homeless World Cup has changed the lives of countless homeless people of all ages. It celebrates its work every year by
organising an international football championship with teams of homeless people from 70 different countries. (4)
Talking at a homelessness conference in Cape Town in 2001, they both agreed that football could dramatically change the
lives of homeless people and they were not wrong. Two years later, in 2003, the first Homeless World Cup tournament
took place in Graz, Austria.
(5) Everyone involved in organising the matches finds the experience extremely positive and touching, and
members of the public are also strongly affected. Watching homeless football players giving whatever they have in a game,
understanding how far they have come and how much hard work has gone into training, people see homeless people
differently. In every city where the Homeless World Cup tournament is held, homeless people say that their relationship
with the public is much better. Football really can change lives.

A. For some, it’s the first time that other people are D. He was soon on his way to fame.

B. The Homeless World Cup has affected many people, F. Then Ken’s life changed even more.
not just the homeless players.
C. They arranged for me to have a bed in their shelter
with access to a hot shower and kitchen where there
were two hot meals a day.
