Scots Homeless World Cup team aim for third title
Scotland’s Homeless World Cup team put the final touches to their preparations for a record third win, this time in in Poland, having claimed the title of ‘World Champions’ in Denmark in 2007 and France in 2011.
The team, which is managed, selected and coached by social enterprise Street Soccer Scotland, heads to Poznan tomorrow to compete in the international tournament which has attracted forty eight countries from around the world.
The tournament kicks-off on the 11th of August and culminates on the 18th of August.
