Street Child World Cup 2026
The World Cup that Matters
The Street Child World Cup 2026 is coming to North America—uniting street-connected young people from around the world for an unforgettable tournament of football, art, and advocacy. Held ahead of the FIFA World Cup, this landmark event offers a global stage for children to represent their countries, share their stories, and demand the rights and recognition they deserve. It’s more than a game—it’s a movement for justice, dignity, and lasting change.
This will be the biggest Street Child World Cup yet, bringing together more teams, more voices, and more support than ever before. As North America prepares to host the world, we’re making sure that some of the world’s most marginalised children are not only included—but celebrated.
