The '''Homeless World Cup''' ('''HWC''') is an annual [[association football]] tournament organized by the Homeless World Cup Foundation, a social organization which advocates the end of [[homelessness]] through the sport. The organization puts together an annual football tournament where teams of homeless people from various countries compete.

The tournament was first held in 1999, and in 2008 it added a [[women's sports|women's competition]]. From 2010 onwards, all tournaments have featured both men's and women's teams.  The 2025 edition of the tournament takes place in [[Oslo]], Norway.<ref>{{cite web | title=Oslo 2025 Homeless World Cup | url=https://www.homelessworldcup.org/oslo-2025-homeless-world-cup | access-date=12 July 2025}}</ref>

==Media coverage==
Journalist [[Rick Reilly]] said "Homeless soccer turned out to be one of the best things I've covered in all my years.
Seeing these people finally getting cheered, finally feeling some self-worth, was great.
It was great to see these guys caring about something other than booze or where they're going to find food or where they're going to sleep - just getting to be regular people for once."<ref>{{
