The World Cup Comes to Glasgow

The Homeless World Cup will be played in Glasgow for the first time this summer. Edinburgh hosted the event in 2005 and Scotland's men's team won the trophy in 2007 and 2011.
The football tournament for men and women who have no fixed address will run for seven days from 10 July. Entry is free and tickets are not required.
George Square will be transformed into three football pitches with seating for an estimated 100,000 spectators.
A total of 51 countries are expected to take part in the competition, which first took place in Graz, Austria in 2003.
