The Brazil team from São Paulo has been created, with some hard work both on and off the pitch. Our squad, ‘Time do Brasil’, have so far had 30 hours of football training and 70 hours of workshops helping them to consider all the aspects of their ‘Life on the Streets’, reviewing what made them turn to the streets through to who helped them to leave and seek a different future.

The team has completed most of the preparations needed to be able to fully participate in the Street Child World Cup and the conference. They have already started to communicate their stories and raise their voices in Brazil.Our press launch which was held at the contemporary arts space, Escola São Paulo on February 9th, was a great success, with an array of media there. The major newspapers and radio stations were eager to finally meet the team that will represent Brazil in the first ever Street Child World Cup.
