Street Child World Cup
The Street Child World Cup is a football tournament ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Each event is hosted by the country of the same upcoming FIFA World Cup. Previous hosts include South Africa, Brazil, Russia and Qatar.
The first Street Child World Cup was held in Durban, South Africa, in March 2010 The event brought together teams of street children and former street children from Brazil, South Africa, Nicaragua, Ukraine, India, the Philippines and Tanzania. The participants were between 14 and 16 years old at the time of the event and all had experience of living full-time on the streets without family. Each squad of 9 players included 3 girls. A representative team of young people from Manchester, UK, also took part in the tournament. This team was mentored by UK children's TV presenter Andy Akinwolere, and his journey was covered on the BBC Children's TV show, Blue Peter.
The Street Child World Cup was initiated by UK human rights charity the Amos Trust. It was hosted in Durban by Umthombo Street Children and the Durban University of Technology.
Each team was brought by a street child organization based in the contributing country:
Between 12 and 22 March 2010, the participating children competed in a 7-a-side football tournament and created artworks which were subsequently exhibited in the Durban Art Gallery and at the Foundling Museum, London, and took part in a youth participation conference. The outcomes of the conference were published in November 2010 as 'The Durban Declaration'. This emphasizes street children's right to be heard, right to a home, right to protection from violence, and right to access health and education. Girls participating in the Street Child World Cup produced a Street Girl's Manifesto which was published as part of Plan International's 2010 ' Because I am a Girl' report on the state of the world's girls.
The artwork created at the event was facilitated by Momentum Arts, a Cambridge-based arts inclusion charity. Specialized coaching was provided by Coaching for Hope.
The main overall sponsors of the event were Deloitte, and the event was known as the Deloitte Street Child World Cup.
The football tournament was won by India, who beat Tanzania in the finals. The Shield was won by the Philippines team. Ukraine won the Fair Play award.
