Homeless children set for Street Child World Cup in Russia

More than 200 street children from across the world have come together in Moscow, Russia, for their own international football tournament.

Boys and girls will represent 24 national teams in the Street Child World Cup, which is a global campaign for street children to get the protection and opportunities that all kids deserve.

Some of the children in the tournament are in care and some are actually living on the streets.
