Street Child United
I AM SOMEBODY
We use the momentum of the world’s biggest sporting events to unite street-connected young people across the world to play in the Street Child World Cup — The World Cup That Matters.
A sports tournament and arts festival serve as vehicles for congress sessions, creating safe spaces for young people to share their experiences and eventually advocate for change to global media and governments at a general assembly to affect lasting change.
Our Mission
Every child deserves to be seen, heard, and counted.
We bring together street-connected young people from around the world through sport, creating platforms where their voices can demand the rights, protections, and opportunities every child deserves.
Looking Ahead
The #IAmSomebody Tour
Street Child World Cup 2026 may be over, but its legacy is only just getting started. During the FIFA World Cup, the #IAmSomebody Tour will visit Seattle, Miami, Toronto, Washington, D.C. and New York, creating new opportunities for young leaders to advance their calls for change.
