More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
There are 5 million homeless in Russia due to the political system. We work in Saint-Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Angarsk, Tiumen’, Arkhangelsk where we offer football training, psychological support, assistance to find a job, training, and education to enable people to change their lives. The national football tournament gains media attention to raise awareness and discuss this issue publically, which is currently taboo.
Activities
We offer football training and coaching to people who are excluded and a national tournament gives the opportunity to win, to represent Russia at the Homeless World Cup. 2/3 of people change their lives coming of drugs, alcohol, finding jobs.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
There are 5 million homeless in Russia. This issue is taboo. Football creates a safe platform to raise this issue and improve lives. We will have a national street league and tournament with 30 teams and 5000 homeless people to change their lives.
Project Message
Legally I do not exist I have no rights as a citizen, as a human being. I always dreamed of being a world champion, to bring great joy to my village, to my country. We only think of winning.

Latest Update from the Field
Homeless football in Russia - summer 2009
By Arkady TYURIN - Invisible People, September 29, 2009 02:11 PM
Money earned by selling of this book let organize the 4th Homeless Russia Open football tournament (with 12 teams participated) and cover travel expenses of Russian national homeless team taking part in Homeless World Cup in Milano, Italy. It was the only income of Russian homeless football this year…
Russians were 15th team at Homeless World Cup — but they’ve got Fair Play Cup from UEFA.
“Invisible People” are translated into English now — and wait for readers all over the world!
