They play by 5 rules.

No.2 – We look to the future
No.3 – We never leave anyone behind
No.4 – We place others before ourselves
No.5 – We keep our promises
Five women have come together with one goal, one dream. Coming from very different backgrounds in life they have to work together as a team if they want to do what no one from Scotland has ever done before. To win the Homeless World Cup, and bring the trophy home.
A joyful story of community and teamwork, building connections between each other and homelessness. Written with the Dundee Women’s Street Soccer Team, Same Team - A Street Soccer Story is an uplifting whirlwind through the highs and lows of homeless football.
Come and have a kickabout!
