Street Child United
I AM SOMEBODY
At Street Child United, we use the power of sport to give street-connected young people a platform to speak directly to those in power and drive lasting reform and change.
Sports tournaments and arts festivals serve as vehicles for congress sessions, creating safe spaces for young people to share their experiences and eventually influence the decisions that shape their lives.
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.

In May 2026 we welcomed 28 teams from 20 countries to Mexico City. Through football, arts and advocacy, street-connected young people shared their experiences and made the case for change. Thank you to every player, partner and supporter who made it happen.
