Who are the Street Socceroos?
Our national Homeless World Cup team are called the Street Socceroos. Street Socceroos are selected from participants of Street Soccer from across Australia who have shown a commitment to positive change in their lives. The Street Socceroos have competed at Homeless World Cups in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2005, Cape Town, South Africa, in 2006, Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2007 and on our home turf in Melbourne, Australia, in 2008. They performed remarkably at their first Homeless World Cup in Edinburgh 2005 to win seventh place and were awarded Best First Year Team for their spirit, enthusiasm and respect for their opponents and the tournament.
