Homeless World Cup

Homeless World Cup

Wandering around Copenhagen on my last full day there, I crossed the Radhuspladsen to find the Homeless World Cup taking place. The cup brings homeless footballers from around the world to compete for charity. The previous year had been in Cape Town, this year in Copenhagen.

The football was played on pitches about a quarter of the size of real pitches, and we were able to get right up next to the action. They even had an authentic Scottish announcer calling the action.

I stumbled across it accidentally, and it ended up being the best afternoon I spent in Copenhagen.
