STREET SOCCER NATIONS CUP
The Nations Cup returned with an international women's tournament in Largs.

WHAT IS THE NATIONS CUP?

The Street Soccer Nations Cup offers a life-changing experience for players who are suffering from social isolation.

Street Soccer’s Nations Cup is an opportunity for players from Street Football projects across the globe to represent their country in our inaugural small-sided tournament. 

For many, this experience may be life-changing and will highlight the power that sport has to influence and make tangible, positive change. By hosting this event in Scotland, we are also able to showcase the impact that football programmes, such as ours, can have in communities across the world.

 The hurdles that our players face are shared by many across the globe. We believe that by uniting, coming together and sharing these experiences, we can offer connection, hope, happiness and build self-belief.

 

We were delighted to return with the tournament in August, with a women’s only format, that took place in Largs, Ayrshire.

THE EVENT

This summer’s event took place in the coastal town of Largs in the west of Scotland.

With matches  played at West of Scotland Premier League side Largs Thistle’s Barrfields Park and players to be hosted at sportscotland’s state of the art Inverclyde facility, we witness a powerful weekend with over 70 players from across Europe.

Matches are played in Homeless World Cup, four-a-side, format and with plenty activity both on and off-the-pitch for all players and staff involved.

On the back of a successful Homeless World Cup in Sacramento for our men’s team and the start of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, we were delighted to offer this opportunity for women participating in Street football programmes across multiple nations.
