A ball can change your life

Every year, players from around the globe train to compete in the world cup... The Homeless World Cup.

An inspiring true story of hope and humanity, Kicking It has been winning over audiences worldwide since premiering at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. What began as an inspired idea to give homeless people a chance to change their lives through street soccer has become an internationally recognized sports competition that includes thousands of homeless players from 48 nations. Players from far away as war torn Afghanistan, the slums of Kenya, the drug rehab clinics og Dublin, Ireland and the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina are all transformed by the power of sport. Win or lose, it's the journey of a lifetime.
