The partnership agreement was announced by FIFA president Gianni Infatino who noted that FIFA shares the view of the HWCF.

“The #HomelessWorldCup is a perfect example of how football can bring people together to challenge existing social perceptions and improve people's lives. FIFA is excited to contribute, because we share the view of the Homeless World Cup Foundation that football is a force for good, and starting from the upcoming edition in Seoul, FIFA will contribute in ensuring that this tournament continues to make a real impact that supports homeless people all across the world”.

Meanwhile, the Director of Team Nigeria to the Homeless World Cup, Yomi Kuku, has praised Homeless World Cup President, Mel Young, for his efforts in securing the partnership with FIFA.

“This partnership will help amplify the message and impact of the Homeless World Cup, bringing attention to the important work being done to support homeless and vulnerable individuals through football.

“Also it is pleasing to know that the upcoming Homeless World Cup games will be broadcast on FIFA+, which I believe would provide global reach and exposure for the tournament and increased visibility for the social causes and issues addressed by the Homeless World Cup.
