Tackling Rio's homelessness
THE Homeless World Cup is to create a football community legacy centre in Rio to tackle poverty and help young people to fight against social exclusion.
The Edinburgh-based organisation is being backed by tournament sponsors Nike in the creation of the centre, which will be in Santa Cruz, a district on the outskirts of Rio.
Homeless World Cup president Melm Young said: "We'd love to see Brazil address the critical issue of homelessness."
