Street Child World Cup · May 6th–14th, 2026
Mexico City ’26
The competition is on. From 6th-14th May, we’re welcoming 30 teams from across the globe to Mexico City. Through football, arts and congress sessions, we’ll give street-connected young people the opportunity to demand access to identity, education, protection, and gender equality.
Three pillars
A tournament that goes beyond football
Football
A world cup tournament for street-connected young people — where every team is a platform for their story and every match is a stand for their rights.
Arts
A global arts programme co-created with the players, turning lived experience into murals, film, photography and performance that travel beyond the tournament.
Congress
Young leaders from every team come together to debate, draft and deliver a collective call-to-action on the rights of street-connected children.
