Act Global Teams up with the Homeless World Cup

For the fifth consecutive year, Act Global has collaborated with the Homeless World Cup to be their official synthetic turf sponsor. This year’s event took place at the heart of the Welsh capital, Cardiff, from July 27-Aug 3, and brought together more than 500 players representing over 50 countries.

The Homeless World Cup is an annual tournament hosted by the Homeless World Cup Foundation founded in 2003. The foundation uses football to inspire people who suffer from homelessness and help improve their lives.

A survey conducted by the Homeless World Cup Foundation revealed that 96% of people agreed football is a good way to bring people together. Along with inspiring this marginalized group of people, the foundation wants to destigmatize the perception of homelessness. The tournament attracts crowds of more than 80,000 and millions more watching online.

A recent study on global homelessness estimated 100 million worldwide are homeless and as many as 1.6 billion people lacked suitable housing. 94% of participants of the tournament in the past said that the Homeless World Cup positively impacted their life.

Act Global was founded in 2004 on a social and technical culture dedicated to serving the safety and performance needs of players while supporting communities across the globe. The Homeless World Cup and Act Global united on love for sports and a shared goal of helping the community.

Act Global is so excited to have brough 3 synthetic turf fields to the event and could not be more proud of the men and women who participated all week long.
